surrounded

Waiting for Ryann's dance class to end, there is the sound of basketball coming from above, a family talking together in person and on phones on my left, a sobbing child on my right, dancing and shouting kids if front, a rumbling floor underneath as the furnace works, and little from behind. Surrounded by activity and life and energy. This is actually the way my life is at all times, though I often have no awareness of how surrounded I am by energy, though it is my constant companion. And to think I am part of the energy that surrounds other people.
