Time to press pause on the scenes that are usually a blur from the passenger windows as we rush past, on our way to this and that. Time for slow. For fresh air and dirt. Time for a wonder. To play. Let’s pause a while longer.
Not that it is ever needed to encourage adventure, the little map his hands hold never fails to spark imaginative play as we walk. A fallen log now a ship with a slimy, snoozing octopus who guards a golden treasure. We tippie-toe past. An exaggerated ssssshhhh. A little wonder as we wander.
Those chubby toddler hands that still will reach for mine – my gold.
A hand embroidered adventure map for your own little treasures can be found in my Etsy store. These are custom made, so we can make these a special fit for your own adventures if you’d like.
And whilst he may be here in hopes of finding something shiny, I’m getting lost in the flowers. Pink bearded heath (I think) the tiniest flowers with the sweetest scent, like breathing honey as you pass.
Come a play a while the tea tree sings.
