Virtual learning day

I woke to a winter wonderland this morning, 

schools, factories closed,  a virtual learning day for

grandsons,  technology connected,

assignments for each class. 

Except kindergarten. 

I meanandered along to a play

date,  to facilitate older siblings virtual learning, while I 

gained knowledge of tracking in the snow, possible 

creatures cliff climbing. 

Returning 

in time to 

empathize with virtual learners confusion over

expectations,  unfamiliar assignments, 

attend gym class,  shovelling, 

push body soul, wait for a timer to ring, 

notice beauty, around

between us, see a

baby stretch, cry, present 

only in this now moment, 

momma, daddy listen, 

step behind 

respond.
