Miracle. All of it.

~ Live & Learn

Notes:

  • Photographer Megan Loeks made this photograph during bath time that was joined by a curious feline onlooker. (National Geographic, August 2, 2019)
  • Post Inspired by: Sometimes, in the afternoons, I would get into bed with her for a nap, and she would lie beside me drinking her bottle, her eyes fixed in fascination on my body. A preliminary wave of sleep would roll warmly over us. I could feel us falling together through the bright constellations of our thoughts. Even as I crossed the line into sleep I felt her cross it too; I felt her go to sleep just as when I was a child I used to feel snow falling outside my window. Later I would open my eyes to find her sleeping head on my stomach, her body curled as if in homecoming around my side, and I would lie very still, knowing that if I moved she would wake.~ Rachel Cusk, ”A Life’s Work: On Becoming a Mother“
  • Post title Inspired by Albert Einstein’s quote: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

      1. When my 23 year old is visiting home, he requests that I have Baby Johnson Sleep Time body wash. The lavender Chamomile scented body wash. It was the first thing he asked for after 10 years apart. A shower with this, and a nap.

  9. I looked at the Mom’s portfolio of her beautiful family…so endearing, such cherished memories …a military family in Michigan…3 tow headed boys, a sweet baby girl with Red Hair (a photo clearly shows this where she is sitting on a couch with her cat!) every day life of a beautiful family and so hard looking at a photo of one of the boys I think the middle boy, getting his head shaved, he’s wearing a hospital bracelet and has been diagnosed with leukemia, so unbearable to see a little one who is going through such a journey <<< and I think back to Thursday getting acquainted with the beauty boutique of wigs, hats and scarfs for the patients who have the need…and I know that "Each Breath Is A Gift" and I Am So Grateful…

      1. well, I’m really glad. Because, you see, it’s morning now in Europe, and I’m still horrendously tired, swollen forearm like an elephant’s leg from one tiny wasp’s sting yesterday morning, house guests, long, long drive, and not in a terribly good mood. So, at least, I can lay the baby in diapers, in a BATH, to rest….. have a good day!
