Bounding Through Youth
Today’s Front Page is dedicated to sensory delights: the crunch of organic matter under soft-soled shoes, and leaves that murmur and shush in soft breezes.
Bird-voices overhead, calling out to one another about bugs and worms and nesting territories. Sprinkles of sun that flicker down to the surface and freckle our faces.
The feel of air rushing along our skin, and the rise of it beneath us when our legs power us into the sky. The atmosphere, all around — too big to limit us and too small to contain us, because we are multitudes, every one. We know this innately when we are young. If we’re lucky, we remember it long after we’ve grown old and we get to live it again with our little ones, step by step, breath by breath.
