Children in the long grass
Christian Century, April 19, 2005 by John Grey
She likes to watch her children in the long grass, how they disappear, emerge, like they're swimming in an ocean without current but the one of growing. See how the long blades part for them, how they close up all around, Watch the gold heads bob, hands reach up for the sun as if it's the transportation of these years. Hear the silence, the safe silence. And then the muffled noise rolling through the shafts, secured forever by the wrinkled smile of her hearing. Children are nature's people now, but her nature too, the one that says, play here, will later sigh, but how could I prevent you.
