Yesterday I’m sitting by the bay when four children pass by – four boys.  They are serious, and the older one is explaining how to catch fish. The younger ones ask questions.  This is serious play.  

I don’t know why they aren’t in school but I’m grateful they aren’t.  They don’t catch any fish while I’m there but that’s not the point.

A seal frolics; boats pass, and birds float and fly.  Peace twines.
