in the swing

Tentative at first
shaky when placed on the rough uneven seat
senses instability
reaches for safety
thinks a moment
then declines
slight erratic motion……..she shrieks

Stop!

Scared and uncertain
but curious enough to try again to cause movement
moderate increased motion
more flowing now
legs bend intuitively
body in sync with activity
likes the feeling…….more please

Soar!

 

She’s in the swing of things.
