Yin & Yang

Hamp is 100% into whatever he is doing at that very moment - he plays hard and sleeps hard. He does not take time to consider or think or wonder or deliberate. He is in, or he is out (and he is almost always 'in'!) He is black and white. He is passionate and enthusiastic and active and volatile. He is quick to forgive, and quick to love - and when he does it is genuine and honest and sweet.

Sam is constantly deep in thought. He is creative and pensive and thoughtful and conscientious. He is particular about who he loves and who he shares his thoughts with. He enjoys working and creating and thinking and reading.  He is careful and kind - and because he is more cautious to give his heart, when he does it is loyal and sincere.

I have always known these things about these boys... but the other night at bedtime I caught this moment and realized just how well it captured the essence of Hamp & Sam:

Hamp is sound asleep - within seconds of his head hitting the pillow.
Sam stays up and reads.... the dictionary.

And I sit back and am grateful for them both!
