Weighted

Grandpa and Grandma in front of their house.
Like a woollen shawl on a cool day, the weight of generations warms me.


Delicious memories of maple cookies, fanciful stories, Bible readings and cinnamon scents of sweet peas.


In my child’s mind,

it was a softer, gentler time.



“Their manners are more gentle, kind,

 than of our generation you shall find.”

~ William Shakespeare, The Tempest
