Pockets of possibility
Gravity, sun & water
by Mother Mother Binahkaye Joy
Mother Mother feels for where her center of gravity is with Luminous Glory tied on her back. She enjoys the cool ground that the splash park provides her bare feet. The big-little munchkins play in the water. The big boys are in a soccer game on a court off camera. The moment is shorter than Mother Mother would have liked because the baby wants to get down, and Mother Mother doesn’t want to undo her perfectly tied wrap before walking home with all the munchkins. So after a few sweet moments, they pack it up and go home.

What are pockets of possibility?
As a multitudinous mothering entity who is holding, nursing, wearing, caring for, listening to, supporting, feeding, comforting, teaching, and being with one or more children at almost every minute of every day, Mother Mother dances, writes, and expands into all of her creations in the soft moments, or pockets of possibility, as they naturally arise throughout the swirls, pulses and undulations within any given span from one sunrise to the next. As her life is fluid and ever shifting, her rhythms of creating are unscripted and unordered, happening at all hours of the day. Mother Mother’s pockets of possibility evolve and stretch as wide and long, or as tight and short, as any single moment can make itself out to be. A fertility priestess for many years now, Mother Mother is well-practiced in making the most out of whatever seconds or minutes, and occasionally an hour or two, are available. She lives inside the knowing: Time is all we have. We have all the time we need.
