Thousands of soft, misty sunrises

and thousands of vivid gold sunsets

Planes, trains, and in your car with the windows down

chasing adventure and finding it, too

Spashing around in the sparkling blue ocean

feeling as alive as I’ve ever been

Moving boxes and new keys

to an apartment I’m sharing with you

Letters that begin with “Congratulations!”

and fancy new clothes for my fancy new job

Grateful handshakes and loving hugs

from and for people I’ve helped

Dim lights and gentle chatter

drinks and laughter with my best friends

Bridal flowers and baby showers

and new family to welcome home

Cups and cups of tea

and piles and piles of books

Dancing in my room, at the club, on the street

because the music goes straight to your heart

Being held in the arms of those who love me

and holding those I love in my arms.

Evolution changed monkey to man.

The man came from the monkey. In future human beings face may become like Lord Ganesha means an elephant-like. Evolution can do anything. If you don't believe then how do you tell that monkey became man? Should ask Darwin?

The Future

Three sets of dark blue eyes under untidy blond hair, filled with intelligence and an active imagination. Different personalities, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes- all encapsulated in brilliant minds with great potential.

One has a tendency to doubt herself and to avoid failure by never trying. Another feels so passionately that she throws furniture and cries desperately and believes and says the worst things. The youngest is belligerent and has a perverse sense of humor.

Children of divorce, they are familiar with the disappointment and disruption of having two lives. The cognitive dissonance of hearing such negative things about someone you love and who is kind and loving to you causes confusion and distress in young, developing minds, but their childlike wonder of the world and selfish enjoyment of love given heal most wounds.

The next generation is the future. And after them, the next and the next and the next. Each generation gives something new- each child is a product of their circumstances and the world they inhabit. In each generation, there is progress and a desire to do better than their parents.

That's why, for these three children, I give them all the love, all the guidance, and all the hope that I can. I'm the future for my parents, the present to my siblings, and the aunt to the future.
