when i looked at pictures from father’s day festivities,
i was struck by this photo:
jerry is still and in focus while his hands are busy, his children are busy; each one moving in a different direction. this doesn’t even show the dog, the cat, the gerbils. the grass growing, the dishes piling, the graden drying. the school work waiting, the appointments looming, the list festering.
it is an honor to watch someone outside of his comfort zone live his life as a father.
and it is a complete joy to watch worlds collide:
at a wiffle ball tournament this weekend. anyone recognize the batter? we hadn’t seen him in years and years. oh, joy.

I love that first picture. I was capture by it before I even read what you wrote. I was thinking “wow, life is spinning all around and yet he remains still”. Really, that is what I thought before I read your caption. Cool capture.

These are sweet photos of daddy and children. He looks very present to the moment. Love the food in Eliza’s teeth.

It is a cool sign that deserves its own post…its like 7 signs in one.
We saw it at the antique mall together and he loved it. So I snuck back and got it.
