A week on my own. Wife – planner, scheduler, care-taker, homework administrator, listener – gone for a week of work out of town. 

Here I meet my limits of aloneness, realize my need and love of the other. 

A few minutes to breathe in cool evening air and center myself on words that nourish and give strength for the rest of the night. Watching Beautiful Flower ren and play hockey. 

Thankful for children and for a week to realize my need of other.
