domestic reflections: The Many Faces of 5 Months.

The Many Faces of 5 Months.

March 12, 2010

Right now we're chewing on toes, playing with toys, rolling over and over as a means of transportation, grabbing at everything, blowing raspberries, drooling. You know, the usual.

Isn't she sweet?

Indeed she is. ALMOST as sweet as my little one, who is almost 7 months. Clapping! Saying ma ma ma! I love it.

She's so beautiful! BTW, I'm envious of the bees (and the chickens)... if I ever have the yard space and time, I'd have both.

I love:
Rainy days, moody music, warm drinks, picking fruit from a tree, turquoise water, baking, sharing meals with friends, most everything “old world,” simple, rustic, smart, funny, really hot baths, feeling connected, being pregnant, finding the perfect gift, smelling the tops of my kids’ heads, cacti + succulents, citrus, California light, guest houses, stinky cheeses, everything my grandmother baked, hearing my kids laugh, small world connections, smiles between strangers, snuggling, reading cookbooks, modern, Mediterranean, walks in the forest, being near the ocean, everything about the desert, gold, jeans, Lillet Blanc, natural childbirth, the beginning of a new season, snail mail, hearing someone’s story, people who reveal themselves…

"your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
they come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

"the master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. he hardly knows which is which. he simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. to him he’s always doing both."
-james michener

"the whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
