Peace on Earth

Merry Christmas! May you find many little moments of peace and goodness and love this holiday season.

 

the first

 
Monday was Juniper's first birthday. One. She is One. It seems like a magical age. From here the birthdays will pile up, onward, onward. But One. It's the beginning, more so than that First Day (Zero?), when she was quiet and still, eyes closed, only potential, a stranger to the world. One is like taking that first step into life, eyes open, arms out, full of intent and determination, not looking back. Well, she always looks back to see if I'm there. I'll always be there.

the days run away like wild horses over the hills

Is it December already? This poor little blog has gone a whole month without a new post. Over here in White Apples Land, we have been settling comfortably into the holiday season.
