This family of mine is pretty awesome. And I especially feel this when we are on vacation together. In fact, I sort of think of our family vacations as magic; like they are some kind of enchanted glue or even a crystal ball. They seem to highlight, crystalize, and clarify how well we love each other and how good it is to love so big. They sort of accentuate the best in all of us. They even seem to knit us together and darn some thin spots in our fabric. Hell, I think the boys even seem to grow faster on vacation. This family vacation in Maine was no exception to my concept of vacation magic. Even though we shared our family time with 8 other family members, the magic of our smaller nuclear family was not diluted. We still flourished as a family of four. Maybe it was just traveling in the car together that cast the spell? One thing I know for sure though is that we all felt generous of spirit and flooded with love for each other. This is good. Really good magic.
