To set the stage - I have 2 boys that are 14 months apart in age with the oldest being less than half the age of an adult....

I would have to say I find simply the act of being with them and giving them 100% of my mind/attention/focus is probably the most pleasurable time for me....just getting to sit, watch and occasionaly interject a thought or idea....makes me tear up just thinking about it and makes me yearn for as much as I possibly can.

(It also makes me angry at the systems we have in place, built upon FIAT, that put pressure on myself, my partner, and all parents to have to literally work themselves into oblivion and that helps ensure "their" education gets ingrained in their little heads)...but alas....I digress....Fucking fucked up FIAT State bullshit....

I just feel such a deep connection to them right now and find so much enjoyment in watching them learn from each other and from the environment around them...it really is the little things that matter most....they have too many distractions in their young lives already and at those times that we are flowing through this life in proximity to each other - it just really is such a peaceful and happy place :) it is even more pleasurable when I am able to observe them using those super-computers inside their heads to figure out solutions to problems they encounter (I think it gives me a sense of peace knowing that they can think critically and solve problems themselves).

Anyway - I could probably point to numerous other pleasurable moments....but for everyone of those, there are the difficult times as well :)

Thanks for posting the question and givng me the opportunity to share.

This is the way...
