friends take a break from recess
in the empty water table
while still waiting for some snow.
recess can be so exhausting.

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.

as long as there are games to play it is not over. – alex ferguson
no way
a little rain
and an indoor recess
can dampen this spirit
bring it.

what makes a man?
it took a small village of kinders to make a man.
they hiked through the deep snow.
they went in the playhouse to eat some snow and get pumped up about it.
they worked hard to push heavy loads almost a big as they were.
they built. and they built.
and they moved mountains.
and they crowned him with a prized possession.
and we celebrated with a song and a dance around the man they created.
and in the seventh hour, they rested.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
