I know...

...it's not perfect you're there for the summer. Sometimes it will be seemless, sometimes it won't. Sometimes one of us will be sleeping, or in need of it, and the other won't. Sometimes one of us will want to share something, and the other won't be able to listen right then. Sometimes one of us will feel the separation more than the other. We can't help that. It's what happens when life happens away from each-other.

Just always be sure that I love you. That even when I am exhausted, I want to hear your voice say, "good night.". That even if I'm busy, I always want to share the details of our lives. That being apart is really a chance to appreciate the space we make in each-others lives when we are together.

You're there for the Summer. And I could spend the time lamenting that - or celebrating the ever-shortening window of your return.

I'll take door number two.

I'm yours.

Bed time

Family:

Hip Hop It.

There is a link on the top right hand corner of our homepage at www.expressionsnapa.com to view the pictures. :>

Your Girl:

She just swam 52 lengths of the pool.

1300 Meters.

3/4 of a mile +.

Yay, me!

A hit!

Off the pitcher - on the first pitch even :)

Perspective (non-baseball kind :>)

FLOW

Be,
as water is,
without friction.
Flow around the edges
of those within your path.
Surround within your ever-moving depths
those who come to rest there - -
enfold them,
while never for a moment holding on.

Accept whatever distance
others are moved within your flow.
Be with them gently
as far as they allow your strength to take them,
and fill with your own being
the remaining space when they are left behind.

When dropping down life's rapids,
froth and bubble into fragments if you must,
knowing that the one of you now many
will just as many times be one again.

And when you've gone as far as you can go,
quietly await your next beginning.
