when the sewing machine is off \\ 012

Cold, early mornings are made for the indoors.
Wooden blocks, and puzzles, and crayons.
Crayons, which will promptly get broken.

But crisp afternoons- those are made for nature walks.
For learning, sketching, exploring.
For using the energy God has granted you.

Then, during their quiet, sleepy hours,
life will feel productive… just for a moment.
But what is “productivity”, anyway?
After all, helping them grow
is the most valuable use of time.
