The other day my daughter and I came across this mama and baby crossing the road with papa. Of course, the parents were rushing the gosling across the road because there we were in our silver goose of a Volkswagen. We were on the way to school and making up for lost time trying to get the pony tail just right, but this encounter stopped us in our tracks. Suddenly we had all the time in the world. There's nothing like the natural world to point up the foolishness of our self-important haste. And there's nothing like a mother's love to remind you that life itself is all we really have time for.

Happy Mother's Day most especially to my mom and to the really fine women who have graced my life.
