I babysat two lovely girls tonight. Unfortunately the timing of the evening limited me to only 30 minutes of awake time with them. Right before the bed time stories I said "Once I start the story it's going to be time to rest your bodies, so if you want to jump up and down and get all of your energy out, this is your last chance. Do you need to jump up and down?" I thought this was a great idea. Megan looked at me and said "No. It's not good to do a lot of moving around after we brush our teeth, because we have to wind down". She's five. And very sensible.
I want to jump up and down, and writhe, and sway, and rumble. Now that I spend a significant portion of me week behaving in this manner I want to do it all the time. My composition is changing. Things seem to always be at the surface. Bubbling. Restlessness, joy, anxiety, whatever, it's right there. The nice thing is that they pass quickly. Like sneezes--big events that come and go.
