I stole time yesterday to take a walk and enjoy the unseasonably warm January weather.

Just as I was exiting the park, I noticed a man with his son; a young boy I estimated to be four or five years old.  They were lying on their backs, both with their hands clasped behind their heads and both of them staring up at sky. The young boy was wearing his father's baseball cap.

It was a quiet and tender moment and, though I could not make out what the two were saying, I imagined dad was passing along one of the many life lessons he hopes to impart on his son before becoming a man.

The scene shined and I couldn't help but smile at the simplicity and beauty of that moment.

Unable to resist, I called out to the father and pointed saying, "I wish I had a camera. That's the best."

He smiled back and then I was gone.

It's Friday and I am wondering if each of us could steal some time for an interaction as special as the one I saw yesterday.

Shining off until...
