Ethan and Ehlana:
We’ve had another good day full of happiness and fun; and had that happen without any major news. Tai Chi was indoors; breakfast was standard school-day fare; and our academic adventures did not include anything out of the ordinary. The weather warmed to around fifty-two this afternoon, so we went biking with our friends after school. That was one of our entertainment highlights of the day; and we stayed out until dinnertime – including a park-based snack break. We had dinner with Mom and Dad; they set us free to go and play at the lab or archives after we took care of the clean-up; and we stayed and played at the lab until ten-thirty – later than we should have stayed, but necessary for Ehlana to complete an experiment. We came home after that; did a quick bedtime visit with Mom and Dad; and we’ve been in Ehlana’s room since then working on our usual computing and enjoying the twin chat time.
We’re tempted to offer a commentary on what has been a couple of busy news days with stories that have grabbed the attention of a lot of people, but we won’t get into those stories. Bad people do bad things; bad things happen; and those stories fascinate people in predictable ways. All loss of life is tragic; and we don’t ever think of some lives being more-important than others.
Let’s move on; since we really don’t want to get into a diatribe about anything. Ehlana wants to add that we are deeply affected by every bad-news story around the world and keep everyone in our prayers, but it is important to keep love and joy alive and well in our own lives – and share the happiness with as many people as we can. That might not be a large circle for us right now, but we are taking the Light out into the world; and know that we – the Magi of the Light – will change the world!
Stay tuned for that; and we’ll wrap this up and get some sleep.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
