One of the joys of working with young children is watching them get lost in play.
What a luxury. They simply have nothing else to do. They don’t have to pay bills, mow the lawn, or contemplate careers. They are at one with play.
It’s getting harder and harder to get lost in time in our ultra-connected world. When was the last time I had that chance? So long ago I cannot remember. What I do know is when it happens. The house is quiet, the phone isn’t ringing, and I have the time to get lost in whatever I am doing for more than five minutes.
Sheer joy.
