The children and I are back to walking in the neighborhood, experiencing the sights, smells and sound of nature.
The children make surprising discoveries everywhere. Here they are noticing what they guessed might be "doors" in the tree. Where did the door lead? To owls? To other worlds? To wishes? They had a other few ideas that involved tree hills and eyes but eventually the children decided to leave their first dreaming heart in the arms of this rooted friend.
The dreaming hearts were created earlier in the year and imbued with the hopes and wishes of the children. We have begun delivering them in the neighborhood as a touchstone of the children's hopes for a better world.
Look for them on your walks, if you find one I hope you can feel a little hint of the love the children created them with.
