Beautiful!! The life-long journey we can gift ourselves of learning to love ourselves through it all. I am slowly embracing all that shows up as opportunity. Thanks for this beautiful piece as a reminder! ❤️🤗
Thank you for reminding us that we belong here, and we are loved. This can be so easy to forget in the murky talk of all the ways humans are bad. Indeed, we are learning, we are creatures of the earth, we were created just like all the flowers we love and the trees and the animals. This mirror in our children really echos in us the truth of being a creature of the earth, taken care of by mother.
Asia you are forever such a gift in the lessons you offer around compassion-- both for self and for others. What a wonderful bit about the rock-pile corners in the Paleolithic caves too!
"For a new way to be built, new synapses to be formed, new pathways to be created, the old ones need to be deconstructed, pruned, let go."
Consider if perhaps the things that need to be let go are the things that allow you to look at the destruction happening in the world TO CHILDREN and equate them with your beautiful daughter's destruction of a flower. It is privilege my dear. You could be doing so much if you spoke out and encouraged others to do the same.
This. This is gorgeous and life changing and brings layers of evocative reflection that's so good for me. Thank you, so much

A beautiful truth offered by the tiny gurus in our lives ♥️🙏🏼
They are always teaching us aren't they??
Oh my goodness - too beautiful. Gives me hope for the way we engage with our planet.
Such a wonderful way of framing this! I too remember wincing as my children destroyed the plants around them for the sake of their exploration.
The wince is real!!

Your essay made me laugh out loud. I appreciate the moral of the story too. Oh but the beheaded tulips!
