Music to fill the spaces, silence...

So today was good, and I am grateful. Sometimes you want to capture something, make something, put a stake in the ground and claim something... but that something is made from air, colour, light, sound. It won't be held.

I had moments today of pure awesome. A child doing finger painting and making all these marvelous shades of green with blue and yellow paint - so proudly and then discovering he can make brown too! Children singing songs to themselves that you only taught them last week (that you yourself don't know all the words to yet). Sometimes it's children coming over with a stack of precious, gold coins and handing them out to each of the children sitting with you in the book corner (so everyone can share/play) and then getting handed a gold coin yourself. The highlight of my day though was one of the boys coming back to give me (what I thought would be a hug) but what turned into a kiss on the cheek and a cheery "see you later!" before he went home. This from a boy who can push your buttons but who can also melt your heart.


I don't have music for it... but I like the last line.




so i'll clear the road, the gravel
and the thornbush in your path
that burns a scented oil
that i'll drip into your bath
the water's there to warm you
and the earth is warmer when you laugh
