Quiet has many moods. When our sons are home, their energy is palpable. Even when they’re upstairs sleeping I can sense them, can feel the house filling with their presence, expanding like a sail billowed with air. I love the dawn stillness of a house full of sleepers, love knowing that within these walls our entire family is contained and safe, reunited, our stable four-sided shape resurrected.

what a wonderful comforting feeling. when this happens, all is right with the world. and of course, as they sleep, i am up, embracing the calm and quiet before the day unrolls.
