The Desert Spirit


It's almost 5am and I'm up with Kaia for her feeding. I think she's going through a growth spurt the past few days as she now wants to eat every 2 hours or so! That makes for a tiring and long night for sure. Lucky for me, she goes right back down after eating.
The desert sun is preparing to rise...its faint light shadows the trees and cacti and the desert appears so peaceful and quiet. There is a beautiful spirit to the desert that took me many, many years to appreciate. It is moments like these, sitting with my daughter sprawled out sleeping on my knees, where that desert spirit prevades and overflows into my being...and makes me keenly aware of the connectedness of life. The spirit calls me...back to sleep...
