you can even toss
your invite
in the garbage
and not reply
there are those instances
when you say yes
get all gussied
and then stall out
right at your own front door

Getting Wise
The day was so full from the moment the sun rose, I found myself unable to even find the time to post to the Archives in my typical morning fashion.
Fortunately, at day’s end, I was gifted a window to unwind. At Jeb’s urging, we wandered down to the mango tree – his new favorite spot – where he decided to get some homework done, up in the branches.
At times it may feel like I’m barely holding on to the coattails of some rapid force that thrashes me about at full speed. What a gift to just let go of the grasping and soak in the magic of a moment with my son.
If I hang here long enough, maybe I’ll even have a chance to gain some wisdom from this tree.
