Kids of a certain age, maybe 2-5 years old, take gorgeous pictures without any effort. It’s like cheating. You just point your camera in their general direction and you get a great photograph.

Grandpa Fiedler's Grace

(Inspired by how my grandpa always started Grace)

We thank Thee O Lord
For these Thy gifts
Which we are about to receive
From Thy bounty:

For the next moment
Arising from the inexhaustible
Fountain of Time,

For Motion its consequence
Which is the source of all beauty,

For Place by which we know
Both constancy and change,

For Others, that we may learn to love,

For bodies which house and figure
Thy grace,

Amen.

Not what we wish we had
And wishing will not change that
But I wish it would

I will break this curse of yours
Like a dry twig
In its place will bubble sweetness
As clear and bright
As a toddler’s laugh
