Discovery

Che~our seed, my Guru~ is a son of the Earth. Some days he wakes up all happy and excited. I see him looking outside our bedroom window, waiting for me to open my eyes. And when I do he points outside in his sweet way of telling me that is time to greet, discover and conquer the world.

Wearing Che came as natural as breathing and I know he remembers me always close to him; always promising him that I was going to show him the world. 

And, really, there is no other place I rather be than here...with him.

 I would take his little froggied body outside, cuddle up next to my chest, to breath in the magic... and I will tell him all about the flowers blooming; all about the birds. That's how Che started discovering the world.

Soon he would start fighting his nap just so that he could keep absorbing everything surrounding us. And he still does because growing is still happening (for the both of us) even though we've come a long way; we've learned from each other. He has helped me explore languages I didn't recognize because I promised him I would let him guide me.

Motherhood is about listening, humbling, devotion. 

I carry him because he lets me.

I know one day he will not want me to hold him anymore. I know he will want to discover the world all on his own, without me. And I have to let him, though Im sure I will be watching from the distance. But for now, I'm here. And I will be forever grateful that he let me see oh so much magic through his eyes; that he shows me everything new again.

Life is sweet when I'm carrying you, little dude. Thank YOU for letting me.
