in between

The sky today is gray. From indoors wayward strands of sunshine seem to beckon me outdoors. Conjuring an excuse to move beneath the sun I step into the promise of warmth only to be assaulted by cool gusts of wind forcing icy hands inside my coat. This restless cold that chases me indoors beneath blankets mocks my good humor, sending me scurrying further between the pages of a book while I wait for Spring to dust away the lingering traces of Winter.

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.
