very clever move
to close the roads and do construction
when people have nowhere to go
what a dramatic opening it will be one day
a fine gallery unveiling
i hope there is champagne.

“the whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this:
that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed;
but a thing created is loved before it exists.”
-charles dickens
when you combine
dots, pencils, whales, glitter, markers, acorn caps. and glue
and make them into a good day.

dropped off the family entries
to the library’s annual lego building contest
there were so many good ones to see
elaborate, creative, funny, scary, lovely, colorful, detailed
some were quickly assembled
some took many hours and days to create
some made by children, some by adults,
some made by both working together
but it was the one above that really caught my eye
it was beautiful because
it was clearly made by someone
out of pure love
created by ivy, a preschooler
her piece’s title
written by someone
who knew how to write their letters
simply read:
‘this is mama.’
it was magnificent.
