3 Moments
1 - Trust
What seems like a few shorts steps, feels like the height of Mount Everest. Each girl takes her turn, while the rest watch in astonishment. She hopes and prays they will catch her. Only a few feet make up the distance between the girl falling and the group, yet the fall feels like endless miles - like Alice when she falls through the rabbit hole - and then it is over. It is alright, the
group has caught her, and she is safe, her feet restored firmly to the ground, and she walks back in line, to help those who just helped her.
2 - Beauty
"Picture time!" The two most dreaded words on any activity, yet we all line up on the porch to commemorate this momentous occasion. We have made new friends and learned more about each other and ourselves, learning to appreciate the differences between us which make life so beautiful. Yet as we sit on the porch, and point ourselves toward the camera, we take in the most beautiful picture of all - the glory of the outdoors. We've been out there all morning, but now it seems more glorious than ever.
3 - Novel
I checked my mail box, under the complete assumption nothing would be in there. Nothing is ever in there. Certainly the package I had been waiting for couldn't be in there, so why was I even checking? Curiosity? A want to feel loved by getting a present in the mail? Alas, my pessimism did no good! For once, something had been placed in my box, and not just a letter or and advertisement - a book! But which one? I had ordered two, and only one could have fit in the carefully wrapped package with neat handwriting. "Please. Please, Please, Please!" I said to myself as I opened the package with caution. YES!
