Your perspective on ‘how you see things’ reminds me to engage all of my senses instead of staying singularly focused on seeing with just my eyes. It opens up life in a whole new way, doesn’t it? ❤️
Love the message to the boys. Sometimes we all need to be reminded that what we’re seeing/experiencing is beauty filled with awe and wonder--especially through the steady onslaught of its opposite--violence, injustice, desperation.
Closer to danger and closer to beauty. Makes me think about a line in a song I like by Pearly Jam in which it talks about death over our shoulder. Maybe if we kept all three of those thoughts in our minds, I wonder how differently we might lead our lives and make every moment count. Just like you reminding your boys to memorize that time together and the beauty. Great piece and Thank You for the reminder. We all probably need that from time to time.
Oh goodness , a bittersweet moment. Your boys, with the guidance you offered them, will look back on that precious family time. Your writing evokes sensuous pictures in my mind. Thank you.

Oh, what a moment shared :)
The mood is just everything. ✨
You painted such a vivid picture of this scene, such depth and poignancy, and yet all so interlaced with beauty xx
Viscerally Gorgeous Depth
Your writing is beautiful and viceral. I can see it. I can smell it. I can hear it.
What a wonderful story. Reminds me of may infancy in the country. Thanks
