as a teacher of young children
i am always struck
by the natural way
that children connect with each other
reaching out
with genuine kindness and kinship.

to restore your balance and make for a great day.

when in london many years ago
i happened upon these two in a park
struck by the natural warmth between them
i took this picture without their knowing
hoping i could somehow capture
the closeness
the easy comfort
between them
in that moment in time
it was simply impossible to do so
but every time i look at this
it makes me feel that warmth again
just for a moment.

fancy dinner and sleepover celebration with friends
our plan.
not exactly sure what it was
but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
friends meet under the bridge
and relax into an after-dinner chat.

and my mind would be floating around somewhere else
like a balloon with a broken string.”
