Being: Conscious, mortal existence; life.
Every month we welcome two families, two people, two voices to share their stories in whatever way they chose. We hope that you find joy in their daily lives, and their simple habit of just being.
::::::::::::
i step out the door immediately caught under the cloak of wisdom.
the perfect mentor.
sharing ancient wisdoms.
she stands connected in community to those who surround her.
present, faithful, full of truth.
consistent and knowing.strength a charm point.
soft yet sturdy.
steadfast.
drawing my gaze skyward with a nurturing whisper she encourages,
as i (continue to) grow up, i want to be just like her . . .
This month we are so happy to welcome Sarah Swanson-Dexel as our guest in the Being series. Sarah lives with her family in the redwood forest of Northern California, perched just above the Pacific. She documents her life as a mother, creative spirit, beach comber and forest dweller on her beautiful blog, urban. prairie. forest.
