Flip Flop Season

Freedom for my feet is here. No more boots and socks up to my knees because spring is here. It is a wonderful thing!

Looking Through...

A strange concept, to look through- does one only see the images beyond or does the foreground distract the beauty... Lately, I feel like I am looking through and seeing only the background. This is disturbing to me. I am missing the view that is directly in front of me. I am missing the time, activities, and responsibilities that are directly in front of me and seeing only the distance of space and time. It makes me feel empty and disengaged with my context. Maybe what is in the distance is simply more attractive and exciting. Maybe it is the place I truly want to be..... but I am not there yet. And I must see the true picture that is up to my face.

Children

Children are living beings - more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love.
- Rabindranath Tagore
