Lightness of Being


It was wonderful having my girl home for the weekend. There she is booking her bus ticket back to school. An hour later she was hugging us all, and heading out the door, pulling her bag behind her. Her competence and cheerfulness astound me. I once read a horoscope for her birth date. It said, "People marvel at your equanimity but the truth is, you're not deeply concerned." I take that to mean she doesn't get bogged down in the heaviness of life. She prefers to float above, shedding light and smiles and lifting hearts to meet hers.
