"the edges are important"
she said,
"because
you never
know when
you're going to need
them
to keep
you
from
falling."



don't let the calm
exterior
fool
you,
she said.
there is plenty
of
restlessness
inside
but i manage
to keep it tamed
with
lots
of
sunshine
and
fried
dough.



i have found
that
stretching boundaries
usually won't make
them
break
but sometimes
i get
into
trouble
when i
ignore
the
no
trespassing
signs.



in the world
of neuroscience,
the
brain
is referred to
as
the 2.5 pound
universe


we have more brain synapses
than all the stars
in
all
the
galaxies
right
within
us.
suddenly,
exercising
my
brain
takes on
a
whole
new
meaning



we took the red candy apple
bikes out
tonight to enjoy
the last rays of the day tickling the tender green grass
and the flare of the sun
reached into my head
and filled it with happiness
and i
thought to myself
these
are the
best
days
of
our
lives.



today:

i smelled freshly cut grass
i wore pink
i thought about calling in sick to work
i sneezed........a lot
i wondered how the sky could be so blue
i heard birds singing
i drove with my sun roof open
i watched pink cherry blossoms wave against puffy white clouds

and so it begins.
hello again, spring.

you're a sight for sore eyes



we sat on the train and watched the world
go
by...
but not just any world....

his world.

and
though
the eyes of a
4 year old
everything
becomes
a
miracle.
