Experience

Now is the transition

When success is measured

Not by doing but being

Not accomplishing

But experiencing

Sun on my arms

And grass under my feet

When a good day is marked less by

The cleanliness of my floor

And more by how dirty the bath water is

And how much dirt is underneath their fingernails

Days are longer

Time goes faster

Boredom becomes

Foot races

And water fights

And dirt roads

Giggles and laughter

Scrapes and scratches

Open space and deep breaths

Time away

Time to become
