Leaps & Views & Stillness {p52}

Each day when I look at him, I think what great leaps he takes day in and day out.

Nothing special, mind you.

Just the normal great leaps of childhood.

How one day he is clingy and shy and won’t say much.

And the next he is asking questions and carrying on abstract (for a 4-year-old) conversations.

And exploring on his own.  (The “on his own” part I can pretty much live without.)

This is my view 40+ hours a week.

Blue skies and clouds and steel.

I long to be outside enjoying this turn to spring.

Instead I am inside with my computer, more papers than I know what to do with, and my trusty 10-key.

I race through numbers to enjoy the sunshine, only sometimes successful.

Cabin fever can be a cruel, cruel thing.

There is a certain time of day, when the sun sets and the moon rises, when stillness prevails.

Ever since I was little this has been my favorite part of the day.

Time slows its pace, a peace settles, and all feels right.
