Eye in the Sky.

Last night I saw my life from another perspective...from above.  There have been times I have looked into a mirror and tried to see the person I once was. 

Unrecognisable. 

A life of love and loss have formed a crust across those years. 
This face belongs to my Mother.  These limbs belong to her mother.  This life is not the one I ordered when I stepped into adult hood!

Then, a button pushed out of interest, took me to childhood places, rubbed dirt in my face, skinned my knees, slept in my little bed and showed me a past I thought was gone forever. 
I felt the breath of my first born against my breast, patted my childrens bottoms.  My Dad heard me tell him I loved him.  I heard familiar voices gathering, straining to be remembered.
Sadness?  Gratitude?  Wonder?
All of those things. 
Because last night, I googled the earth.
