We play, and we're joined by her sisters, and there's a lot of laughing, and I give a dramatic reading from the book, Everybody Poops.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
And yet, it is extraordinary, because in my pain and my panic, in the homelessness of my humbleness, I have nothing to do but pay attention.
I focus.
I am still.
The nation I'm building, the marathon I'm running, the troops, the canvas, the high note, does not exist.
All that exists are sticky fingers and gooey kisses and tiny voices and crayons and that song about letting go of whatever it is that frozen girl needs to let go of.
It's all peace and simplicity.
The air is so rare in this place for me that I can barely breathe.
I can barely believe I'm breathing.
Play is the opposite of work.
And I am happy.
Something in me loosens, a door in my brain swings open, and a rush of energy comes.
And it's not instantaneous, but it happens.
It does happen.
I feel it.
A hum creeps back.
not at full volume, barely there.
It's quiet, and I have to stay very still to hear it, but it is there.
Not the hum, but a hum.
