Today is Eric's first official day back at work. Monday is his first day with students. Eric's job requires much more energy and effort than mine. For the first few weeks, in particular, he has to set the tone for the year. It's hard to recover if you start the year in a less authoritative position.
Our calenders fill so quickly. Busy, busy. Everyone knows that times speeds up as we get older. They yap about it all the time at the district office. Each school year accelerates and the days (seasons, years) fly by like so many fiery comets.
I want the giant heel of God to fall out of the celestial go cart and start dragging the universe into a major slow down.
I don't even care when. God could extend the most benign moment, and I'd be thrilled. Three months to tie my shoe laces? Fine. A 20-minute commute turned into something turtle-like and two days? Fine. Just slow it down.
Gots to go to work....
