waiting for the sun to rise

in morning's light
All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

created for us

I open our brown box like a Christmas gift, marvel at colors, textures, flavors
fresh
such perfection, beauty, infinite variety...
romanesco cauliflower
well, it is a gift isn't it?

Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist,
but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. -G. K. Chesterton

a wall of world history

the timeline
Spent the bulk of our school morning sticking the timeline to his wall.
Tristan loves history and thanks to classical conversations and these audio books, this kid knows history.

after a full day...

in the car
...of driving one long errands-and-appointments circuit, found myself (finally) alone in a hair salon parking lot, feeling like I "accomplished" nothing. why do we tell ourselves such un-truths?

there are so many moments in the day when I have a choice. when I fail miserably.
grumbling or joy? right now, this moment, I choose joy.

there was a moment...

blurry boys
as the long day's light faded,
and they jumped for pictures, laughed at blurry selves, ran to jump again, laughing again-
when life suddenly came into focus,
dazzling, bright.

so this is winter in Florida

just my size
 colorful planter boxes and short sleeved Saturdays...
the mom&pop store
we wish for snow and cozy fires and cute winter hats...
that kinda day
...but really, we can't complain.
