gather with you now all the magic you can carry
a sentence in a passage i read recently stood out to me.
real life is outside.
this has become something i repeat to myself on an almost hourly basis and you can almost see how true it is in how little i blog or respond to emails. (although i am trying to correct that as there is a lot i want to do on my computer.)
francesca spends the majority of her day outdoors. now that elodie is in kindergarten, she's inside a bit more than i would like, so i make it a point to pick her up and take them on an afternoon adventure. this is our time, free of scheduling that we get to explore our environment. today we went to arlington gardens to walk in the "fairy ring" as elodie calls it. we sing a song from elodie's earlier waldorf playgroup as they try to balance on the rocks.
follow, follow me,
to the ring of the fairies
follow, follow me,
where the fairies dance and sing.
gather with you now
all the magic you can carry,
as we circle 'round the dancing fairy ring.
the girls are at an age where they happily play together. next to each other. foraging for acorns or making fairy houses. the fun is in the doing and the soundtrack changes from moment to moment. i'm so happy that i get to tag along with them.
