Whoever knows it
also knows that in love there is no More and no Less;
but that he who loves can only love with
the whole heart,
and with the whole soul;
with all his strength and
with all his will.

the happiness of jumbo crayons
...happiness is something you create...
a box of jumbo crayons is a good place to begin
skinny crayons feel more color-inside-the-lines-ish
even without the company of chubby toddler fingers
jumbo crayons carry you back to the childhood joy of creating...
flipping open the box top
sniffing the waxy goodiness
running your fingertips across each point
coddling magic sticks in your hand
feeling each carefree stroke on paper
creating anything
creating happiness
:)
it would be inspirational if you shared a link to a little bit of your happiness

Something Else
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else,
and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson
six days ago our sixteen year old son
returned home
from residential psychiatric treatment
again
two days ago his father and i called 911
and our son was arrested
today we formally file felony charges
and
for the safety of our younger sons
hope that
our son
will never return to his family
how does a mother crawl up from
the grave of this death

real
the blending of fatherhood and grandfatherhood...
...better than real ice cream
