Sometimes I look across the room and get a glimpse of what may come in the future and I linger and watch this other worldly space he allows himself to surrender to. He doesn’t know I am witnessing or that would bring him to the present.
Like this moment, when he grabbed his guitar shortly after a sensory overwhelm melt down. He sat quietly, closing his eyes, picking at the guitar, rocking his body, then moved to face the window, knowing what he needed to connect to for solace.
What I want most for him is to be deeply in tune with what he needs in this life. So, these moments he tunes in, without any guidance from me, brings a deep sigh from within. Mmmmmm.

thank you, loves. these moments where he allows himself what he needs to feel calm or center don’t happen very often but when they do, i revel in it from afar and just witness. there are many times he does not know what he needs and its heart breaking and hard and when i too cannot figure out what he needs, i just sit near him, and love him.

Cedar….such a beautiful soul……

He may not always know what he needs, but at least instinctively his feet know where the path to connection is

Oh how I feel these images
it is reflective of my now grown boy…my man child
when he picks up his guitar magic happens
for me
it is a spiritual experience watching his surrender…
Cedar is a blessed boy to have you as his mother
as I know you feel blessed to be his mother
love and light
