games.

Standard
the youngest at the party
play a long game of skill and chance
with exuberance and spirit.
“a finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”
― james o. carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility.” 

heard by the universe.

Standard

(my glamour shot after returning from the salon and in full singing mode)

i love that my class

is unaware

that i am not a top notch singer

they are the best audience ever

very non-judgmental and accepting

as i belt out my tunes

and try to get them on board

i often improvise my own lyrics

when i only know part of them

or

think of something i’d like to add

many times accidentally

creating my own key

it’s all about the gusto

and not so much the skill.

“music in the soul can be heard by the universe. “

talents.

Standard

one writes numbers

happy giggles

one draws lines

purple squiggles

two young kinders

share a table

each one proud

of what they’re able. 

 

“use what talents you possess;

the woods would be very silent

if no birds sang there except those that sang best.”

-henry van dyke
