this is the first time i've written in a while. i don't really know why it's taken me so long, other than the fact that there's so much craziness in the world around me. of course, maybe i'm just projecting...
my daughter rowan is unbelievably fun and rewarding. something about your child smiling is beyond therapeutic. it's the perfect amnesiac. in that moment, you instantly forget about things like, say, global recession, economic doom and financial market meltdowns. you forget the ship has hit the iceberg. you can't hear the band playing its final song. all the negative just slips away.
yes, i am saying that my child is the perfect drug. no hangover. not impeded when operating heavy machinery. total bliss when taken regularly. definitely performance enhancing. not regulated. don't need to go to a bad neighborhood to get it. don't need to hide it from loved ones. no intervention necessary. huey lewis got nothing on me.
when i look into her perfect eyes, and they dance with the smile when she sees me, i melt into a puddle of unconditional love and devotion. and it doesn't go away with poopy diapers. now THAT is a powerful drug.
