so much to not do

sleep
sheep

if we wake to now
this breath
each breath is
a sweet
food

if we wake to now
each
click
clack of the computer keys
is a sweet
sound to
our ears

if we wake to now
the bones
hold us up
we find our skeleton
we find gravity
we play

in the moment
attention
awareness
gravity
breath
sound

and if that's not enough
light
pouring
in from the sun
a beautiful hydrogen bomb
93 million miles away

time to take a wak
and it's 8:20 in the morning
early by some ideas
late by others

and always now
the right time
to
be

to b
e

to bee
in
love
with
life

Wed Parenting and Love

What to do?
The kids will be kids
and they are obsessed
sometime with how they look
and what other people think
of them
and how they are going
to get into college
and what their parents
will think of them

and this feels like
a lot of pressure

which it is:

all this attention
on the outside

outside looks
and opinions
and approval
and possible
disapproval

and how bad can it get?

really bad,
we don't need to go there

and what's one easy sweet quick
way
out

the usual:
back to the present
now

paying attention
to them
as they are
not as should be
or they want to be

just good old Mr. Rogers stuff:
I love you just the way you
are
