art and english | Taking Up Your Precious Time

This morning I was playing on the playground in the sandbox, with my preschool class, and I noticed something floating in the air. The sun was shining in a way that created a beam of light in front of me, and in it I saw millions of illuminated little flicks of glitter floating in the air. I looked down and realized that the kids playing in the sand had stirred it from its resting place, sent it flying freely into the air. My hands, as well as the children’s’, were coated in the same gold flakes. What a beautiful (preschool) life this is.
