The Lifting Of The Fog Shall Set You Free

---

This old gal…

Whipped up some brownies with walnuts…using a box mix…took like…5 minutes…

A thought passed…during the marvel of the simplicity…a memory really…junior high school me…needing something…for her confirmation bake sale…

Don’t know if she forgot…or just wasn’t feeling it…but that mother of mine…was angry…while making those Rice Krispie bars…huffing…stomping…seething…

Scared me…tried to help…scared me…held the bars as we drove to the church…that angry mother of mine…angry driving…flooring it…then slamming on the brakes…flooring it…then…well…you get it…

Wanted to sob…but couldn’t speak…

Took years…to realize…Rice Krispie bars…are easy to make…took years…to realize…junior high me…wasn’t at fault…

And so it is…in life…some things…take years…to see clearly…to completely understand…but when that fog clears…and the sun pokes through…there’s a certain sense of freedom there…waiting…just for you…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
