***


We walked along a quiet trail in the mountains and breathed in the winter air. We followed bunny tracks and deer tracks and watched the sunset from the mountaintop. And as the sun disappeared into the hills and the sky lit up magnificently in layers of yellows and oranges, we both felt him. Liam was with us. But he wasn't with us.

J put this little video together. I cry every single time I watch it because that sunset meant so much. We stood quietly watching until the last sparkle of light was gone. And now we wait. Until the next moment when we get to feel Liam again.

  4. It is in the beauty of the world around us that we find them.

    I can't wait till you find him again.

    Love to you my friend.

  6. I'm so glad Liam was there with you.

    I love the unexpected moments when I can feel Bear so close. These seemingly random moments are often brief, but they take my breath away and carry me for days.

    May you be carried by Liam's presence and love!

  7. I wish there were moments like this more often...I wish we could be surrounded and cuddled and warmed by their existance. We take every moment we can find. Yours is a beautiful moment. Thank you for sharing it.

  8. Yesterday, London was covered in snow - It doesn't happen often here, maybe once every couple of years. It made me feel so close to my boy. I'm glad you felt that too for Liam. Beautiful.

  9. I love the sound of snowpants swooshing. <3

    It's amazing how we can internalize bits of beauty that nature offers us, because really, it's not only external.. but also really resides within. If you felt it internally, then it was most definitely Liam's presence.

  10. Beautiful scene Tash, beautiful sunset. I particular like the end, Winter 2012, as if your whole winter could be summed in this moment. I feel that all the time about times I connect with M.

    Love and peace to you today.

  13. I so want Liam to physically be there with you - walking in the woods all bundled up; experiencing his first winter; feeling the chilly air on his nose.

    That sunset was most certainly a gift from him. I am glad you and J were together to appreciate it and share that special moment with your son. I hope the serenity of the snowfallen forest carries over into your everyday life.

  15. from the "hey Tash" on i was a weeping pile of tinglies. i wasn't expecting this today pal o' mine but wow that was subtle beauty. no need for words, no need for any distractions...this type of walking world is all about perspective. all about shared moments where you both can see the lay of the land and know where the next steps will lead.

    oh i am loving this today ....gonna watch it once or twice more. xo ♥
