Cherish this time, when your children are robust enough to try out exciting activities but still young enough to want to spend time with you. It’s a great time to experience new sports, explore unfamiliar areas as a family, or simply hang out and enjoy each other’s company. As they become teens,...

Life is what it is about;
I want no truck with death.
If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving,
and for once could do nothing,
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves
and of threatening ourselves with death.
Perhaps the earth can teach us
as when everything seems dead
and later proves to be alive.
Now I’ll count up to twelve
and you keep quiet and I will go.
-from Keeping Quiet, Pablo Neruda

FIRST FIG...a poem for our times

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
