a journey of 4000 weeks

a moment in these 4000 weeks,

a life, my life, next to her life,

just started, so fresh and full of questions

What is that, Opa?  What are those white things up there?

What is in your backpack, Mimi?  How do I peel these eggs?

and such clear direction, I want to go the beach. No, I don't want

to eat lunch now.  Let's go to the waterfall. Carry me.  

each moment for her is unsullied by the past and the future,

a moment in time, valuable and immediately now,

I learn from her, so much further along in my 4000 weeks,

we must learn from the young.
