Raising these children

 

Housekeeping may go undone 

In fact it will certainly wait til later

Dust will accumulate on the parts of our lives that are not in motion

There are hikes to be hiked and projects to be projected and built.

Time will march,

Nuances will dance,

Children will stretch toward the sun.

We are made for this

We will grow and grow.

Wet feet will drip water on linoleum at the end of the messy day

No dust will accumulate on our expanding souls as we scale rocky bluffs to see big views.

Beautiful things will happen, beautiful things  overcome tragic things, warriors will rest, peace will find us in the evenings, we are out searching for  joy and laughter

We are in motion

Life is fluid and precious and in it

We live.
