bubbles

Waking to an unexpected family day I imagined museums and landmarks filling our free time together. Instead, my children trifled away an afternoon of leisure chasing bubbles with makeshift swords and rediscovering the outdoors that has slumbered these past months beneath a blanket of snow and ice. Understanding my children’s need to absorb the warm weather, I added bubbles to sunshine and we played. Unceremoniously, each of us picked up sticks and jabbed at rainbows tickling the air. This perfectly uneventful day will linger in my mind long after my children are grown, beautifully centered in togetherness.
