me: (die laughing) “my philosophy is… it shouldn’t get to that point!”

so… today Parker came to observe his first dance competition with me and i have to say it was amazing… i always see significant others bored out of their minds at these events… but he was engaging in conversations about what was going on and how things were running… and helping me out anytime that he could… it made for a brilliantly perfect day…
but it got...

teaching moment
students: "Miss Maggie... you remind us of the black swan"
(i look at myself)
me: "are you saying because i'm mean?"
(laughter)
students: "no... we could just see you floating around moving your arms like wings"
(i look at myself again... hair pulled back, all in black... then i start fluttering around in my tap shoes to delighted giggles)

i saw a dove in the sky today
not white, nor in its usual form
it was a dark blue cloud
took up the whole sky in front of me
light blue was its backdrop

drove under it’s body and wings

the sun had set.
the snow falls this time round
no sun, but flakes none of the same
breathing in sharp, cold breaths
i look at...
