a tiny me, circa 1969, holding our kitty Midnight. I was surprised to find this picture because Midnight did not let people hold her. I am proud to be able to document the fact that she let *me* hold her, at least once.
She was a good cat. 
One of the names I christened my Freedom Avenue House with, was "Toad Hall," from the children's book "The Wind in the Willows." #house #home #houses #homes #sculpture #dellarobiaclay #oilpaint #childrensliterature #literature #childrensbook #childrensbooks #childhood #creative

Every time I hear the Ice Cream truck in the neighborhood I think of this clip, but also note that _nobody_ ever seems to stop him anymore.
We never remember the last time joy felt that easy.
Only that it ended without telling us.
And part of us still waits where we forgot to say goodbye.

Child's playtime.

As you look at Wendy, you may see her hair becoming white, and her figure little again, for all this happened long ago. Jane is now a common grown-up, with a daughter called Margaret; and every spring cleaning time, except when he forgets, Peter comes for Margaret and takes her to the Neverland, where she tells him stories about himself, to which he listens eagerly. When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is to be Peter’s mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.

I see the children play,
In the park across the street,
Laughing and smiling,
What is was to be free,
My mind goes with them,
Running hand in hand,
Just for a little while,
A boy and not a man,
It seems so long ago,
The sky was much more blue,
Dreams were a reality,
I could even touch the moon,
Now the decades have past,
Knowing the evil that abounds,
Hoping these little ones never know,
And maybe one day I can put my sword down.
