Monkey Bars

Monkey Bars

The monkey bars, the swings, the slides, and the fire poles.  My son visited all of them multiple times on this summer morning visit to the playground.

Leading the Way

Leading the Way

“If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them – not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.” –Anne Bronte

Soft Grass

Merry Go Round

Merry Go Round

“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride the merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” –Nadine Stair

Fantasy Forest

Fantasy Forest

“I’m always astonished by a forest. It makes me realise that the fantasy of nature is much larger than my own fantasy. I still have things to learn.” –Gunter Grass

The Starting Point

The Starting Point

“The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods.” –Robin S. Sharma
