swingin' with it

remember those childhood days played at the playground? you know, when you climbed effortlessly on monkey bars, kissed the sweet air sliding down slides, and pumped those legs swinging on swings? and remember that freedom to be happy, paying no heed to responsibilities or concerns? it was as if night would never fall, the days would live forever.

well mama, g, and i were reunited with childhood this afternoon. we found a swing on the bluffs, wondered if we should actually use it, and said what the heck, yeah we will! and just like that, we took turns stripping ourselves from the limits of adulthood, took a seat, and let the giddiness of a child at play fill us within. amazingly, it was THAT easy to feel free, joyful. a swing and the willingness to let go of expectations.
