Reverb10 continues- Some of these are proving quite hard:
Prompt #3 (December 3rd) - Moment
Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).
This is totally sappy, but there have been a number of moments with my new daughter. She's eighteen months now and her world is so much smaller than mine. Its a process of reduction when you're drawn into her play. If I had to pick one specific moment that would be a spring day when I was still on paternal leave. We had gone to the park because it was somewhat warm, and to be honest we didn't have anywhere else we needed to be. The air was fresh, the park was largely empty that morning and my daughter walked around collecting sticks and discarded toys to put in a pile near her stroller. We were the only people in the world and the stick pile drew laughs with every stick drop. Baby excitement is contagious.
short but true.
