Time is strange. Weekdays can pause on infinity while weekends scream past in a blur. Yet overall I gasp as the years peal past.

I come home to stop time. A walk in the yard yields infinite moments that will never leave.

A chance to breathe, release, recenter.

And then there is Jeff. Jeff the stuper stunt cat, who at the tender age of 4 months jumps out of our son's third floor dorm room and broke a leg. One wonders what he was chasing or being chased by...

As you can see, he wasn't adversly affected.

Many years have past and he still winnys with us. Strange how the child has left but his pets remain. Still me thinks we got the better end of the deal.
