seasons
>> Tuesday, November 9, 2010
A little leaf turns
and a beloved season hints of coming to a close.
I'm reveling in what's in front of me,
what's in my arms.
I breathe it in
bowled over by the fullness.
I want to hang on.
[you know I'm not just talking about the great fall weather, don't you?]
I'm here for each step, looking back with affection
but moving forward all the same.
:::
unwrapping the gifts of being present, of hanging on while letting go, of living a life of boyfulness.

your family is so beautiful :)
Oh my - the kinda got me teary as I sit here in a hotel room in Northern Lousiana for work and thinking about my babies at home and how big they have grown....
Beautiful images...
And yes, I know the ball is my court for a chat and I'm buried as usual and the list is long but please know I love when your posts pop into my email box and when I can, I read....
You look happy... :-)

Your photos are priceless. Really gives you something to hold on it, doesn't it?
Beautiful pictures ... beautiful words. Yes, I know you are talking about more than the weather. xoxo
Hanging on while letting go. So wise of you!
Enjoy, enjoy. (I love the light saber picture!)
okay, so everyone is saying beautiful beautiful but that's because it is, so i am going to say it too: beautiful post my beautiful friend.
i really love this post - the pictures, but most especially what you wrote. it reminded me (at the end of a particularly rough one) that there is so much to look forward to. thank you!
p.s. that photo with all the light sabers...definitely worthy of enlarging & putting in a special place.
I feel like my family was hanging out with you there and taking our own photos and then we all hung out.
If that makes any sense.

Hi! I just found you through Emily's blog and this post brought tears to my eyes. "Boyfulness" is such a fabulous word and I'm totally gonna borrow that one if that's ok? :-) My own boy has the nerve to keep getting older and bigger and I just can't seem to stop it! I love this post and I love your blog and I'm now a new follower!
Blessings,
Vanessa
P.S. Oh and I like to use exclamation points, can you tell?!
wait, you're not talking about fall?
hehe. i couldn't resist.
and you're killing me, by the way. here i am reflecting on time passing too fast.
i'm going to go watch 'the walking dead' not to even my mood out.
Oh, Elizabeth. This was beautiful.
Whenever I see pictures of your family a see a little glimpse of what mine might look like in a few years {IF we are blessed with another baby and IF that baby is a boy. And I hope the first and am ambivelent to the second.} Maybe it's that we both have Jo{h}ns or maybe it's the light sabers. I don't know. :)
Lovely, though. Light sabers and all.
