The Dance

Take me to the places on the earth that teach you how to dance,

The places where you can risk letting the world break your heart.

And I will take you to the places

Where the earth beneath my feet

And the stars overhead

Make my heart whole again and again.

So I was at the beach all last week with my children who are all well into adulthood and can only be called children as defined by their relationship to me and I saw these pelicans having a blast.  They were so majestic, I could only call it a dance.

As I watched them, I realized that my children were conducting a similar dance in the same sea and the parallels between the two brought a smile to my face.

I'm kind of sad to see another Summer past.
