Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

Circling Back


Dear Daughter,

I was so happy to read the post about Kaz last night together and that you were so interested in the ensõ drawings Papa did and the one that we will soon have in the English House II. Something to remember about Art is that we never really own it, but we will merely be taking care of the ensõ painting from Kaz.

Papa thought it would be good to think about some of the many things we did together this summer. Sometimes it is better to reflect than to immediately react to something. Too often we react to something and at times maybe say or do the wrong thing rather than just taking our time to let it sink in.

I have been thinking about some of the great memories we have from this summer, so the next few posts on your blog will be memories from this past summer.

Today, I was thinking about the day that we saw 7 bears in New Mexico! Do you remember that? We saw the two sets of mama bears with their cubs, one with 2 and one with three. That was a really special day. That same day, you and Papa also saw the “twins,” the two identical twin deer on the road and we said hello to them by bowing our heads. Do you remember that?

It is good to remember the special days in our lives, especially when we get stuck in a rut and we forget to appreciate all the beautiful moments in our lives for which we need to be grateful. Those times help us to get un-stuck.

I Love You,
Papa
