awful

I have been thinking about this word: awful. There are times in our lives which we may refer to as such. I don't know about you, but for me, these times have been important. Awful...or.....awe-full?  Full of awe.

Awesome is only some awe.

Awful is full awe.

Hmmm. This is not random.

Then I found this....(or, more truthfully, this found me)...

How should we be able to forget those ancient myths

about dragons

that at the last moment turn into princesses;

perhaps all the dragons of our lives

are princesses who are only wanting to see us once

beautiful and brave.

These words speak to my heart as I care for my mother who is dying. This is one of the hardest times of my life, but it is indeed full of awe if I allow my eyes to open and see. Thank you.
