Ayden and Nadia
undisturbed by the bare floor
did not quibble
as they built the towers by the door
but simply…stacked the blocks
with intent concentration
no precarious assumption that it couldn’t be done
or any fear of defamation
they played together
daring, courageously and unabashed
the architects of playland
undaunted by the task
if only Congress
would recognize the fun
they, too…
could give it a run
Truer words were never said.

Amazing…if we would only reflect and see how easy it would be if we retained our childlike quality…

Perhaps we should insist that Congress play board games every Friday afternoon. They would have to divide up by parties and Senate and House of Representatives. They could have whold food snacks (no preservatives) and allowed to play for a minimum of 4 hours. Or, as the children playing in the photo in your blog, they could have large blocks or even a simple tinker toy set of years gone by and have absolutely no expectations placed on them (other than they could not cheat, lie or steal from their neighbor). I wonder, would that make for a better, kinder person to return to the chambers the following Monday and perhaps they would see with more reason and simplicity.
