day two hundred nineteen

moving waters: the boy's a kickin'.
8.7.2010

we celebrate the fourth of four swimming lessons. these are my boy's first experiences of independence in the water. he has a way to go, but sitting by the pool watching him grow before my eyes was a holy experience. when water moves, miracles happen. that was the motto at my college pool, a motto i've returned to again and again as i reflect over the years. as a water baby, i'm so glad to see my son kicking, dipping his face into the water, and come out smiling.
