relaxation is who you are.

how green is my valley?
never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness,
but come down into the green valleys of silliness.

the kinder team in action on the big dig,
in search of dinosaur bones.

some supervise.
their dino artifacts go on display
for all to enjoy
in the playground museum.

the dinosaur’s eloquent lesson is that if some bigness is good,
an overabundance of bigness is not necessarily better.

chips.
we are often too late with our brilliance. we are on time delay.
the only instant gratification comes in the form of potato chips.
the rest will find us by surprise somewhere down the road
maybe as we sleep and dream of other things.

freedom.
we came outside today
with
no
mittens
hats
scarves
neckwarmers
or
snowpants.
just
coats
and
boots.
we discovered
that it had
magically turned into spring.
and
when we said
coats weren’t really needed either
there were
shrieks of delight
and a
mad dash
to peel off those coats
at last
to
throw them down
after the long winter
and
to feel a taste of real freedom once again.
