With Light

Around me the trees stir in their leaves 
and call out, "Stay awhile." 
The light flows from their branches. 
And they call again, "It's simple," they say, 
"and you too have come 
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled 
with light, and to shine." - Mary Oliver

Two days off from school for two besties.  There was weaving, and imaginary wars, and peace treaties, and a hike, and deer and scooters.  It was simple.  We were filled.
