Day 40: Sipapu, New Mexico
The sun transformed the snow into glitter as we climbed the hills in search of adventure. Usually the cautious one with a million questions, the little man of four was fearless in the wild of the forest.
The braveheart extended his hand to the timid. Oh, why was I so afraid?
“I’ll protect you. I’ll help you be brave.”
And together we flew, with the sun and the glitter and the wild all around us.
Sometimes all we need is the hand of a braveheart – and we become a braveheart too.
My hand is now extended. To you. Join me and let’s find adventure.
