While other children are in school, you might find these un-school kids
climbing trees. Or testing the
ride on the new "articulated" buses sitting at the "swivel" joint. Or eating
brownies in a cafe. Depositing
money in the credit union. Walking through the woods touching "
touch me not" seed pods and recoiling in shock when seeds explode in a burst of green, unwinding energy. Or more mundanely, picking up their reserved books at the
library. Or helping carry
groceries in the backpacks. Or just walking along with a contented parent,
holding hands and chatting.
Not everyday is this good. But let me mark it down as possible, and more, truly lived experience.
