Here are my favorite things from today.
1. Blushing. Definition: Speaking publicly with my sister at lunchtime and watching both of us become so passionate that different parts of our faces become reddened. (My cheeks, her neck.)
2. Art. Description: Finally making it to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and touring the American Indian Art Collection with my two main men. (Below are my top picks, but nothing in the rooms let me down.)
3. Treasuring. Explanation: Knowing that the hand that occasionally reached out at the gallery to hold my own doesn’t know that the young man to whom it belongs will continue to grow up and find the comfort of touch far from his mother. (And that’s the way is should be. But it doesn’t make it any easier.)
