Call me slow, but I think I get it now. Despite all the stats on divorce and the effects of a new child upon a marital-like union... the right attention and love determines the growth of a thing: puppy, plants, and of course, people.Perhaps it is this valley I am in currently, but I have been paying closer attention to examples of parenting and family which are giving my 'everything-in-its-place' bachelor mentality a gentle run for its money. ... I am 6'2" and 39 so fat chance it will catch up with me, but nevertheless...
Just this weekend I was befriended by a long time friend's six year old, and I am looking forward to playing lego's, colouring, and reading with her again.
It is truly special how these other lives ask only (and always) for our loving kindness.
