Today was today. A typically normal Wednesday afternoon...My thoughts constantly being interrupted by the fighting, yelling, and laughing of my friends...so difficult to get even a moments rest. For some reason they call me "Momma", although I'm not quite sure why. It was once explained to me by my friend, Yi. "It's because you're the provider." She said, "You give us food, money, counsel, and a place to stay if we need it. For me, it's a reference to the Mother Earth, or the Goddess, who treats all her children equally and well, and disciplines them when nessesary, but mostly lets us do as we please unitl things become perilous. That's why we all love you, momma!" By the way, Yi is 14, and she now lives in Costa Rica with her halfway insane father. I do what I can, and that's all I can ever do I suppose...but it always feels like something's missing....
