Delight

Walter  and Kai- taken by Tricia Hipps

If a fairy was to fly out of the trees and grant me one wish for my children, I wonder what I would say. (First, I should tell you that I went to "The Learning Fairy" last night at the Open Eye Figure Theater in Minneapolis, so fairies are on my mind!)

I am debating between two words:  Ease and Delight.  Or maybe instead of "Delight" it should be "Joy".  I decided if a fairy was to jump out of the trees, she would be a nice fairy and would give me both.

This photo of Kai and one of his best buddies, Walter, oozes both Ease and Joy.

I just absolutely love it.

Tonight, when I kiss Kai and Ruby June in their sleep before I go to bed, I think I will whisper my wish in their ears and say an extra wish that I guide them in that direction.

Sleep well.  Listen for those fairy bells.
