Addendum

Earlier today, after Lily and Gibson left to go get Owen at school, I noticed that my Roseland thrift store Buddha was missing from the little table on the back porch where I start nursery seedlings and rootlings.
"Mmmm," I said. "Wonder where Buddha went?"
Just a few moments ago I went into the Glen Den to tidy up before supper and this is what I found.

Toys where Gibson had been playing. 

Now. Look closely.

Porch Buddha along with the little mantel Buddha I keep on the library fireplace mantel, a smooth stone and seashell I keep there too and in Big Buddha's lap, the tiny little rock I found that looks like a bird. 

Gibson went and collected all of these things and brought them together and I found them and I just lost my heart once again.
