A flash of wonder

Standing in the stillness of an early summer night I look upward into the dark sky. I see the distant light of a satellite as it orbits. I recall a moment years before when someone took a group of teachers (including myself) outside to see the flash of another satellite as it suddenly caught the rays of the sun that had set about an hour before. I do not expect the flash this time, but I remain focused on the traveling dot and hope. Then it happens... I am amazed by the synchronicity of the event. I am thankful to have experienced this again. I hope to share many such moments with my daughter as she grows and learns...

perfect moment

Reading to my daughter and watching her smile...
Listening to music as she sleeps propped on my knees...

renewed meaning

I grew up with Schoolhouse Rock and I love all of them, more or less... This one has a new and special meaning for me right now in my life.
