Half a Year

My baby turns 6 months today. He has already cut his first tooth, crawled and eaten his first food, avocado mixed with raw kefir yogurt, garden strawberries and oranges. Although his official first food was carrot sticks in a Tsog / Gana Puja a few weeks ago. (Tsog is a practice of blessing and offering food to all beings, including Buddha’s, there are many inner and outer meanings, but basically it is a way of generating good energy, and is symbolic of spiritual nourishment.)

His name Chimme, means without death, not in the sense of transcending death, but more in the way of being in essence, which is eternal/ immortal and without limitations of worldly beginnings and endings. His name came from dreams both my husband and I had, and we feel an auspiciousness surrounding him. He is my peaceful one, this love baby!

This is a boy who reminds me that joy is an innate quality; smiles can be for anything, anyone and all day. He tells me that it’s better to whinge, only when absolutely necessary, that’s his style and I’m lucky for it.

 This space is now 3 months old, and has brought me many things including, sweet needed connections, improvement in my communications, clarity of thought, and definition to aspects of myself not always emergent. I have gone from being slightly obsessed with this space to completely letting it go and now I’m back again.  

Dream on Dreamers!
