outside

A couple of weeks ago, we went to my sister-in-law’s family lake house in Maine. Spending time in nature reminds me of play. We played in the water with pool noodles, played a word game, and an outside game that was kind of like outdoor bowling. And we got to witness nature with wonder, like two butterflies dancing with each other or two bald eagles sitting together in a tree. Spotting wonders in nature was like a game itself. -Liz Auguste (CLF)
