Mama used to do that a lot.
Be Mindful I mean.
Even when washing dishes she
took time to notice little roses on the cups,
how the soap bubbles caught diamonds in
them from the sun shining in the window,
and one time she even stopped shelling our
supper peas to show me how beautiful a
pattern the stain made when I spilled a
splash of juice from the bluebery pie onto
my brand new lacy white blouse!
Mama...
"Wherever she went, there she was."
