Look Around
How my daughter taught me to slow down
Mommy look!
Mommy please!
I want you to see me jump!
Mommy slow down!
Mommy please...
I want you to see that tree!
Mommy listen!
Mommy please!
Doesn't the wind sound pretty?
Mommy I love you
Mommy please
Slow down to see the world
My child sees so much more than me
It's time that we let the rest go;
Do not miss the innocent beauty
Of a child fascinated to grow.

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
