height = one day
width = one home
spouses arise together
from one bed
separately visit the bathroom
maybe wake the kids
maybe woken by them
maybe breakfast together
weavingdancing around
a small shared dining space
parts of the day
spent separately
parts together
(fave teevee shows
rent a movie)
work and play
inside and out
at home or away
converging for lunch and dinner
kids to bed
in order of age
parent make love
happy families all alike
sharing quality time
unhappy families fragmented
each in their own way
we might look (if we could)
into each family member's thoughts
for which ideapatterns are shared
and with whom
which are kept private
happy families more open
than unhappy
maria montessori praised
a form of private quality time
where a child becomeds deeply absorbed
in some activity
and healed
strengthened
made wise
by that absorption
.
