Shadows

I used to love Cat Stevens becuase he taught me about night shadows and how bright the moon is.

Now I'm in love with a 6 month old becuase in the midst of colorful rattling toys, doorway bouncers and noisy exersaucers, he stops every muscle in his body and freezes to watch light and leaf-shadows play against the curtains and the walls. He is teaching me pause, reminding me about the simple.
