where are you?

At this moment, there is an unusual stillness while standing in the Wellington hills.

In these seconds, a plane glides over the bay, picture perfect with white sails and glimmering ripples below.

Here, the pebbled path announces my steps-slow and steady, careful and calm.

Presently, I have 10.6 kilos of love strapped to me in a carrier, her big almond-shaped eyes questioning

and smiling

and trusting.

Her weight and warmth accentuate my presence. Her safe-keeping and joy make me feel the now more than normal.

I am here.

I love that.
