Read this Mother's Day evening, sitting beside my boy while he chatted and splashed in his bath. Maybe it's just the summer weather encroaching, or the inevitable losses that go with raising baby farm animals, or the fact that everything feels like it hits extra deep all day every day, but every time I open your latest essay I end up with tears in my eyes. You touch those intimate little details of what it is to meet and mother yourself as you mother your child, and I love coming here and recognizing what I already know in my own experience and having it rounded out with the perfect, unique elements of your own.
You are such an epic writer. Your writing is so clear and crisp. I continue to find it so incredibly difficult to write about motherhood now 2.5 years later. I don’t know why. But when I sit down to write I find that there’s just too much, it’s overwhelming. You perfectly captured the profound pain & beauty of motherhood. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I gave birth to my son five weeks ago - this poem perfectly captures the contradiction of feelings around my creative passions that I’m feeling as a mother.

Oh this is so so beautiful! I can feel so many of the words deep in my being. Xxx
