This winter we've spent a lot of time at games. Here are a few highlights from Kyle's games.
Knitting together a life centered on His word, family & friends, balanced by hard work, knowledge, creativity, growth & adventure. (and of course a good dose of humor)

Halcyon Days
I've been reading Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman and came across this section. I remember it from school and still love the scene it paints!
HALCYON DAYS
Not from successful love alone,
Nor wealth, nor honor'd middle age, nor victories of politics or war;
But as life wanes, and all the turbulent passions calm,
As gorgeous, vapory, silent hues cover the evening sky,
As softness, fulness, rest, suffuse the frame, like freshier, balmier air,
As the days take on a mellower light, and the apple at last hangs
really finish'd and indolent-ripe on the tree,
Then for the teeming quietest, happiest days of all!
The brooding and blissful halcyon days!
