I stole it. And them. I stole them, too. And I'm not sorry. So there.
This weekend was a flurry of moments. Racing by me in colorful blurred stills, but as if in a flipbook. And I couldn't stop the pages or the motion. I could make out smiles in the watercolors, so I guess that's the big point.

And then I stole it. I stole a moment. We were able to catch a breather and change up our scenery by walking in a park near our house. It was actually warm enough to trick us into pretending it was spring. We were all together--all of us, and we were walking and chatting. It was leisurely and lovely. Real conversation, but light; real laughs and happy faces.

They were talking, or pointing something out in the woods, or laughing or walking or watching. But I, I was copying each face...one to the next...over and over, like tracing on delicate paper the shape and feel of their youth. So you see, I stole them, too. And I'm not sorry.
