Heading home after a long day she saw the most beautiful flag furling and unfurling in the wind just above the rise. As she drew closer, she realized it was her mother’s schmata – extra large to allow comfort when sitting or moving about the kitchen; her mother’s schmata had what seemed like an endless supply of material; a pattern fit for a country picnic table or a flag representing the motherland; a schmata bringing peace to her heart knowing home was only just over the rise and that her mother would be there with her schmata lufting like a sail that lost the shape of the wind.
Coda:
the good news about neurosis – it is completely portable and can come along on any trip, be it bicycle, kayak or banjo. never worry about being without worries.
