Hiking with children leaves me wondering
Am I seeing my past or experiencing a vision of their future?
Watching them, I remember my early steps
when everything was new and simple
— when the immediate was infinite —
and I could see all there was to see.
I have a glimpse of the paths they have yet to walk
if they choose to take them.
We’re planting seeds from an unmarked envelope.

Ponderings to Keep
Reflections on my life as a teacher, reader, writer.
Polonius got that one right...
Polonius got that one right...
Polonius got that one right...
Blogging my way through the year
Polonius got that one right...
Polonius got that one right...
shouting my heart out for all who may listen
Polonius got that one right...
Lit On Fire!
"It would be nice if you could just ravel out into time."
Polonius got that one right...
Yet There is Method 
This is a beautiful free verse poem about children. I love this line – “when the immediate was infinite.” It reminds me of so many things but mostly of our youngest, now 19, who was so enthralled with nature when he was young. His path is something different than I imagined at that age. Thank you for a glimpse into your day. Looks lovely!

Thank you, Carol. We don’t know where those paths will lead, but we hope the best for our kids (and grandkids!).
