E18 Mama Part 2
Thyme
Oh Dear Lord, I’m feelin’ frustrated this mornin’!
God
I knew it. You got Mama on your mind, doncha?
Thyme
You got that right,
God
You’re feeling stuck in life havin’ to take care of her all the time.
Thyme
Right again.
God
Well, you’re doing a good thing. Lizzie calls you “a Saint.”
Thyme
Well, God knows I ain’t that!
God
The dictionary defines ”Saint” as “a virtuous, kind or patient person.” Seems like that fits you pretty well, Thyme.
Thyme
Well, I try ta’ be those things, but lately I ain’t been so patient. Mama spilled her oatmeal this mornin’ all over the floor an’ all down her dress, an’ I’d jus’ given her a bath and so I knew I’d have to do it all over again, an’ suddenly the words, “Clean it up yourself.” slipped right outta my mouth. She jus’ stood there an’ began ta’ cry like a baby – not cuz a’ the mess she made, but cuz a’ the thing I said. I hafta admit I jus’ lost it there fer a minute. I felt so bad fer what I said an’ jus’ hugged her right there in the kitchen and then realized that I got the oatmeal all over my own dress, an’ I was gonna be late fer work cleanin’ everything up. Not a good start ta’ ma’ day.
God
Well, you won’t be late for work, I’ll make sure of that.
Thyme
You can do that?
God
Thyme, if I can make the world go around, I can get you to work on time.
Thyme
Right.
God
Do you remember your Mama before your Daddy left?
Thyme
Well, let’s see, I was jus’ turned four at the time and so most a’ my memories is sorta vague. I do remember her teachin’ me ta’ read an’ write and how my learnin’ was her mission in life.
God
Ya’ don’t remember her changin’ your diapers or teachin’ ya’ how ta’ walk or given’ you a bath? You don’t remember the time you got a fever an’ she climbed into the ice cold bathwater with you tryin’ to bring your temperature down?
Thyme
No, I don’t remember any a’ that.
God
You were too young to remember that, but I do. You probably don’t remember the many times she sat by your crib all night keepin’ watch over you because your daddy had come home drunk an’ dangerous yet again.
Thyme
No, I don’t remember that neither.
God
Well I do. She was a Saint. Seems like you took after your mother, Thyme.
Thyme
Uh huh.
God
I remember the time the bees came in the house. You were just a baby then. She wrapped herself around you for three days an got stung all over, but none of them got to you.
Thyme
Man, you remember all that?
God
I remember all of everything, Thyme. I am memory.
Thyme
Wha’s that mean?
God
I am the allness of all – the past, the present and the future. I am everything that ever happened and everything that ever will.
Thyme
Well, I believe ya’ cuz yer God, but I donno if I can get ma’ arms around that. That’s prob’ly a lot more than ma’ little brain can handle.
God
You’re right. Your brain will never be able to handle all that, but if you open your consciousness to that, you can take it all in.
Thyme
How zat?
God
Because I am also your consciousness.
Thyme
Well I guess that’s jus’ one more thing that I gotta think on. You sure been given’ me lots ta’ be thinkin’ on lately. I be thinkin’ overtime!
God
I remind you yet again, Thyme. There is no time, Thyme.
Thyme
A lotta times in that last sentence.
God
Uh huh. Time to get to work.
Thyme
How come yer givin’ me all this homework?
God
I’m preparing you.
Thyme
Fer what?
God
For better things.
Thyme
That all ya’ got ta’ say on that?
God
For now, yeah.
Thyme
It’s a secret?
God
Not to me. All will be revealed in time.
Thyme
I thought there was no such thing as time.
God
Right again. There’s only now.
Thyme
You funnin’ me?
God
Nope. Time ta’ get to work.
Thyme
Yeah, I know. I’ll try ta’ be thinkin’ on all you said.
God
Good. Time ta’ get to work.
Thyme
You jus’ said that.
God
Right. Time ta’ get to work.
Thyme
Oh brother …
God
Time ta’ get to work, Thyme. You said you didn’t wanna be late for work. Leave now and you’ll make it right on time.
Thyme
Oooo, right! I’ll be goin’ now. An’ God … ya’ did it again. Ya’ bumfuzzled ma’ brain, but ya’ cleared ma’ consciousness. Thank you. God? God? Ok, I git it. Time’s up.
