Long Jump

My son is away at college. I don't see or talk to him nearly as often as my heart wishes. But I do stalk his Facebook page from time to time (okay, often). Here is what I found on my last tour. Yes. More flight. It would appear that the theme this month is flying—my children's flight and my own diminished ability to fly, but the part that involves me is a post for another day. Suffice it to say that what I am dealing with mechanically at the moment makes me all the more awed by the seemingly limitless way my children's bodies are able to move, to leap and jump and run and soar. I don't take it for granted. I want them to see themselves as I see them, their power and possibility, and I hope they live in such a way as to preserve the dazzling grace and motion that is theirs today.
