The best thing

The best thing lately is looking back to see my daughter in her car seat belting out “I want to see you be BRAVE!!” as Sara Bareilles plays on the stereo. This child has all the FEELS. Another best thing is letting the redwoods hold my pain for me. The sadness that sometimes comes, just from living in this world. Right now. Or…from being human. It’s no different or worse than forever ago or than it will be tomorrow. It’s “a little bit of everything,” … I wept along with that song by Dawes. First time I heard it I knew I needed those trees to fall into. I did it slowly, gently. Walking and breathing. Listening. Thanking. Releasing. They soothe my soul, every time.
