Lightly Child, Lightly.

  2. beautiful. such a stark contrast to my post about commuting today, but in a way, the same. even in a loud and change by the minute situation, it’s important to just be in the moment, sit back, and listen.

  5. Oh my gosh, yes. This is my life’s goal. To speak lightly, love lightly (but deeply of course), to parent and grandparent lightly, to walk and dance and stretch my limbs. Lightly. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous photo with the quotes.
