These (magic) moments
What is this life like right now?....
Lately, I am totally wrapped up in the experience of mothering my 4 month old son, Julen. Our culture, I am finding, is abound with cliches about babies... they really are just too cute. But I can't help but think that underneath all of these consumeristic images that are out there lies a deeper, quieter reality, the one that we live everyday, in slow time- because that's what being with a baby is really all about.
This last week my partner has been out of town, far away. It can be a total torture, as you may know, to be out of the loop when you've got such a young child. A lot can happen in just a short period of time, and so I committed to sending him a picture each day that would show something about Julen. In just a few days, 2 teeth have emerged, and our young boy is reaching for the world with total curiosity, wanting to touch, see, taste everything. I spent a lot of time this week just being with and holding, but in between I was able to step back and see these other moments happening in our babe's life, and these are just a few examples of that quiet space that finds its way amongst the chaos of early parenting. Sometimes I want to stop time, so in love with right now that I am.

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
This tiny island off the Basque coast has a 10th century hermitage on top, reached by a breathtaking hand made stone bridge that rivals China's Great Wall. Remote and sublime...... what I love most about living in Spain.

Nostalgia
I spent last weekend in my partner Fernando's village (Maella,Spain, population 2,000).... where timeless pastimes still flourish.
(*The bottom photo was taken by my 10-year-old niece Andrea of her grandmother talking with the neighbor.... I love the moment it captures, and only damn the lens flare.)
