Kids home for a visit
pull out of the driveway, heading for new horizons. At once a house that fit perfectly for many months now feels too large by far. Rooms that held laughter just hours before now sit empty and still. For a week or so the waiting ensues, hearts and rooms both waiting to be full once again. And then we two who inhabit this space will again fill its depth and volume perfectly. Like trying on shoes for the right fit, we'll walk this space several times until the fit is again just right for us. The waiting will be pushed to a corner of our hearts, and life will again fill this space. The heartbeat of a home will beat out a rhythm of love and we'll realize it's never missed a beat.
