Cattails: Part III

Dear Patient Passenger in your mother's belly,

After all of these family reflections, perhaps it is a good time to post this one photo that tells a bit more of the story of the cattails. Here is where you see the cattails opening to the wind, spreading seeds into the wind.

As I think of a holiday prayer for you, I wait for your not just outside of your mother's womb, but hoping to see you out in the world, traveling the world, like the seeds of a cattail. And wherever you land, for however long, may you find joy, reaching down into the soil of that place and knowing it deeply and truly with your heart.
