"When we are present in each moment, the past gently rolls up behind us and the future slowly unravels before us."
while i hold this sweet baby in my arms, it reminds me of the invisible string tied around my finger, how instantaneous this is all taking place. as i wear the 9 month old, swing the two year old down from the 'off limit' staircase & tickle my 7 year old baby all at the same time. sudden funnel vision. she was who i was wearing, distracting, never letting my eye off. take her by the hand. she is seven. big. independent. responsible. mindful. fun. brave. able. my baby.
tidy little bakers twine tied in a bow.
allowing the future to unravel with a smile; grace in each step.
savor.
that is my favorite baby feeling, ever, when they sleep on you. i love how positively you see your girls. it helps me remember, in the middle of the waves, to see mine that way too!
ReplyDeleteMaking my heart hurt this morning (in a good way). I need to remember to savor and not to rush. Life will fly by on its own without me hurrying it along.
