Quiet

This is how Asher counts
while playing hide-n-seek.
He counts to five, very slowly
with his ears covered
and his eyes scrunched shut
and then he
ROARS.
After that, he's off to seek the hider,
as if his little routine was entirely necessary.

(The above photo
-with the nice view of brownies in and around his mouth-
was taken at The Point Of ROAR. You're welcome.)


His roar is not quiet at all,
but it's all he hears with his covered ears,
so to him?
Quiet.

Sometimes that's what we all need to do, huh?
Block out the world and let out a roar.
And then we're off to seek and find...


Go ahead,
ROAR
and then
Shhhhh....


Your insides will thank you.


P.S. I'm getting back into a more regular writing routine over at the Mama Manifesto. I have a post over there today about kids and how early in life they learn to hide their feelings. (I know, ACK!) Go on and check it out if you'd like. I promise it ends with hope. (Grandma, click on the bold words 'check it out' and you'll end up there. Love you!)

"'And now,' said Aslan presently, 'to business. I feel I am going to roar. You had better put your fingers in your ears.'

And they did."
