A gift.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written here. Partly because I’ve been feeling quite internal and writing here felt too far away and partly because I’ve been visiting with family and spending more energy in conversations with and being around people.

Yesterday, I visited my older brother and his family. I am a part of a big family that keeps expanding with fresh, new to earth, souls. Each of them precious in their own unique way.

The youngest entered the world about two and a half weeks ago. He is so tiny. He is a warm, fleshy, beautiful blob. I held him for hours yesterday, watching him sleep and make all his little squishy baby faces. In those hours, existing felt so expansive. So full.

Yes, there were a million other things on the agenda, but none were as important as this one. The experience to hold a little one like that, for hours, simply being in the moment with him, is truly indescribable and the most beautiful gift.

That is all for today. xo
