Heavens, Child

Teaching forces us into the role of giver. We become source when at times we feel none. We give our good mornings and the sustained good will of our days. And like the sun, our role offers warmth but also burning. And also like the sun in yesterday’s eclipse, we sometimes fall into shadow.

And there is turning, and there is night.

And there is rest.

I think of my little girl’s face. She is asleep now, upstairs, her eyes upturned crescents in the darkness.
