Looking Back and Facing Forward
Looking back across the well-trodden path of experience, you remember how you stumbled over slippery rocks and almost didn't make it back from that last crazy adventure. You remember how each one of those stumbles led you the place that you're standing at, right now. You are grateful for each rough patch, for each hidden pool, for each encounter along the way. They don't define you, yet you choose to hold onto the best of each struggle - strength, tenacity, beauty, love. Now you are here - facing forward into an unknown future, stronger than you were before, ready to take the next step along a yet-to-be-defined path forward. –Reflection from a ride with Emma, Brego, and Gypsy |
Rosie and Ruby
That first moment of meeting,
looking into each other's eyes,
Daughter and mother, Mother and daughter.
No going back to what was before;
we've fallen head first into a new life, a new love,
the beginning of a lifelong tie – a dance of
playing and working,
laughing and crying,
holding tight and letting go.
When it's time to fly away,
hearts touch and grow closer,
even as the space between them
grows more distant.
- Reflection on the ties that hold us together and give us strength
