Over Thanksgiving weekend, surprise surprise, a family conflict arose. I (Noah) stepped in to assuage the tension and be the peacemaker (aka rescuer). Rachael then called me out with her fierce love. She said, “Noah, you may think you’re trying to help, but really, you’re just triggered and are trying to control the situation because you're uncomfortable.” I listened to her. I heard her.

Sometimes we just don’t know.
The information doesn’t line up (or there isn’t enough).
The intuition is offline and garbled.
We can’t find the answers,

What makes a person beautiful?
Is it a perfectly symmetrical wrinkle free face?
Is it voluptuous shimmering hair?
Is it wisdom, deeply etched into skin over years of experience?

His bright blue eyes focus with determination below his furrowed brow.
“Self, Self,” he says with resolute confidence as he attempts to climb into his carseat.
Heaving himself up and into his seat, he wiggles and contorts his body until he’s proudly sitting face forward ready to be buckled in.
Our little Zephyr is about to turn two.
