    Life

    Today she wants to know where the edges of the sky are and if flying squirrels are more bat than squirrel and she wants to know why we cannot live forever if we stay healthy and can she sit here on my lap for as long as she likes.

    She wants to know if I heard that sound just now and what do I think it might be because she is thinking it must be an owl, or a hawk.

    Today he wants to tell me things.   He wants to explain the way the grass grows and the way his heart moves and the way a moth takes wing.  He wants to show me how he built his pirate ship and how he dreamed up a kite last night and then he spent the morning building it.

    He wants to tell me that he can smell the dampness and the green of spring and it makes him happy.

    I want to tell you how this feels.

    Jesse got into an argument with a swing and his eyebrow lost.

    but a black eye suits a pirate quite well

    Why yes, I rather like him.

     I love it all.
