"My Hiding Place" by Jacqueline Joy

My hiding place has been discovered. Shit! When you’re 5’9” playing hide and go seek with a 3 year old in a 3 bedroom apartment, there are not a lot of good hiding places to squeeze into. And suddenly you realize this is just a game and you are meant to be having fun. All of it. You are meant to be having fun with all of it. The good. The bad. The ugly. Stick your hands in the mud and let your fingers play, draw and paint with mud. Get dirty. Relax. Breathe. Laugh. Giggle. Be. Isn’t that better. Be like a 3 year old. Look at the world with joy, awe and a sense of wonder as you discover a new way of being with the human race.
