Walking my daughter this past year has given us an intimate connection with the seasons. Strapping on one of our carriers and snuggling her in for a nap, these walks nourish our bodies and souls. Physically, they help her body sleep and integrate and allow my body to heal and get back in shape. Spiritually, they connect us with what each day and season has to offer. Earlier this week she was delighted by the robins racing together through the trees. Yesterday, she squealed with glee as gusts of wind blew into her face. And today, I got the first heady scent of wood stove fires as she slept nestled in close. Grateful for all the seasons of life and the opportunity to experience them together during this, her first year of life.
