As the rain pats down on the roof in our new home, a home that feels protected within the confines of a tree with its vast wooden interior, the word nourishment rises into my thoughts. The rain nourishes the flora and fauna that surrounds us and feeds my curiosity in a way that I have not experienced in a long time. Since we have been in the midst of persistent drought, I am in awe of the water falling from the sky and can see it in my kids as well, as we stand at the back door just watching and listening. The birds hop around on the back hill hunting bugs, worms and seeds and it appears that the earth is taking a deep breath in.
Like the water feeds the earth’s systems, the act of making is nourishment for me, in the most abstract yet fully tangible way deep in my chest. Whether making a photograph, baking a pie or hammering a nail for my latest project - it is the process that fills me up. As a mother, I have turned my gaze and priorities to filling up my offspring; Nourishing their bodies and souls, protecting them from harm and bad news, but knowing that the hard stuff teaches valuable lessons.
My youngest child reminded me that, by example we show the way. We were talking about our most favorite things to do and I said hugging family and hearing them laugh was my favorite. He looked at me sincerely and said, "Remember Mommy, you love taking pictures”.
