Not a lot of sitting but a whole lot of exploring while catching freshly emerged toads with new friends - so many little toads!
Such subtle creatures toads are.
Family
All things material and spiritual originate from one source and are related as if they were one family.

Remember... The entrance to the sanctuary is inside you.

Wolf Spider
I rescued her from the pond.
She was as - calmly as she could - trying to keep her babies from drowning. Wolf spiders carry their babies on their back for a while. One by one her babies - as they are ready - will leave their mamas back and venture out into the world.
Such is the way of motherhood - parenthood.
We carry them as long as they need us and then we have to let them grow on their own.
