Into the Woods

It was a good day to go into the woods.

It was a good day to climb down to the creek and explore the rocks, the trees.

It was a good day to kick off shoes and feel the cold, damp moss on the rocks.

It was a good day to follow your brother up the damp mossy rocks.

It was a good day to be quiet and look outside of ourselves.

We had a quiet weekend. Just the four of us and our various animals. It's been a decade, so much healing has happened in our world. And though that isn't all that's gone on in these past ten years, that's what I'd like to contemplate; the healing, the new beginnings. Two new lives, inside our family fold, who seem like they have always been a part of our lives.

Peace.
