Window Open

Our trip draws to a close today. I've been so grateful for so many things throughout, a large one being the opportunity to be outside a significant amount of time with ND.

As the week has gone by I have gradually felt an internal shift, gradual softening, calming, opening. I'm a little afraid of returning to the work rush and wondering, as always, how to retain some of the peace from this break.

Wimberly, TX where I am right now is especially good for slowing down. We are surrounded by natural landscape. There are so many antiques too... people reusing old things and keeping memories of the past around them without adapting their entire being into to the speed of ipods and the like.

Yesterday we spent a large chunk of the afternoon playing in my uncle's yard. As we drove back, ND kept asking that her window be rolled down. She usually hates to have it rolled down at home, but we let it go down all the way, even though it was noisy and a little chilly to do so. As we drove through the rolling hills she held her hand up to ride on the wind.
