Day Two: Rhythms

Every household moves to a rhythm. In ours, Seal, the 15-month-old human dynamo, sets the pace, determines our moves. We start the day when he awakens. We rest when he naps. During our evening meal, he inevitably drops off...and shortly after that, so do we.

After nearly 25 years in New York, living at a frenetic and often frantic pace, always with more to do than time to do it, I'm surprised by my response to this way of being. I like it.
