hide and seek

I listened to a group of school age neighbor children celebrating the finality of this school year by playing a good 'ole game of hide and seek. It was refreshing to hear the laughter as one became two became three as the seeker was able to find the hiding. I stopped and watched and remembered.

It was out of the ordinary as most nights the neighborhood is a mixture of dogs barking, air conditioners running and an occasional howling of a coyote in the Southeastern distance.

I felt a sense of peace, knowing that I too played hide and seek as a child and like today,
I too can hide, but my creator will come seeking.
