The Gift of Knowing

This past weekend marked one year from the day I found out I was pregnant with Miles. I've been thinking a lot about that day one year ago, remembering the details of the day -even the most mundane- and the incredible and intense emotions I felt. Although the day Miles was born is, of course, momentous in its own right, it is the day of knowing that truly opened my heart to the wonders of possibility, of love, and of life.

you.are.

the scent of sweetened spices and fresh cedar

you.remind.me.of.

a farewell whispered into the ocean’s wind at the end of summer

i.have.

seen your shape move across the clear blue river waters of the andes, like light bouncing between moments of time

your.small.being.

my.unending.love.
