while we wait
in nice weather
in a friendly line
to see a show
some of us chat
some of us think
some of us check messages
some of us watch
some of us worry
some of us laugh
some of us sigh
and
some of us –
juggle.

“yeah, I think on my resume it still says that – I can juggle.”

i’m always hopeful.
i feel like I’m at the prom sitting against the wall
waiting for someone to ask me to dance.

“what is a scientist after all?
it is a curious man looking through a keyhole,
the keyhole of nature,
trying to know what’s going on.”

and as gorgeous as the sun in midsummer.”

kinders offer their presentations
to
the other kinders
and to us
their teachers.
they are very excited
as
they tell us
all about
the animals
they have studied.
one teaches us about
the colorful parrot.
another one asks
‘why do they fly?’
kinder answers
‘so they can see the world.’
in this moment
of clarity and understanding
she has
traded places with us
and has
become the teacher
and
we learn so much from her.

“feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”

team problem solving
4 grandies and 1 wagon
lots of sizes
lots of weight
lots of ages
lots of ideas
lots of feelings
1 bent axle
1 road at the end
how to get it back up the driveway
who wants to pull
who wants to push
who wants to ride
who wants to walk
how can we do it so no one cries?
