i found a story with a bit more brevity to it. and humor as well, in a twisted way. it is really a strange story. it did help me to understand further about the negative connotation the word "sheep" can have, especially when describing those who follow blindly, unaware of any danger that may present. (sheep and lemmings, right?)
on a completely different topic... these days with my two adult children have been surreal. i have dreamt for so long of a time just like this, to reconnect, and just enjoy one another. there is no greater feeling of satisfaction, then to just watch them be who they are. we've had deep conversations and consistent laughter together. appreciating the beauty we are lucky enough to be hanging out in. incredible children-of-mine. i dread returning to work again on monday. they are much more interesting than my job, hands down.
tomorrow we retrieve the "baby" at camp after two weeks. a most wondrous camp, with a clown named wavy gravy "in charge", and patch adams as a special guest/teacher. we look forward to her tales of big fun. i have missed her. we all have. only five years and she will be an adult child-of-mine too. "time waits for no one."
the love i feel for these three people is why i wake up every day. it makes me strong, and gives me true purpose in my sometimes-wretched life! and the moment each of them drew that first perfect breath, that is how i have felt.
"send the boys all back to the farm
tell the troops it was a false alarm,
cause if i die i wanna be in your arms,
and so i won't go to war, no i won't go to war,
said i won't go to war no more"
