Dear Sweet Lamb,

Find a pasture that allows you to be at ease. Find another lamb that sees the world and the layers of eternity in the same way as you do. Find another lamb who sings with you, no matter what. Find another lamb who cries when you cry, with consistency and compassion. Don’t consider a lamb who just makes logical sense. Don’t consider a lamb who doesn’t declare your utter beauty from the highest rock place. Find a lamb that you can walk with. Find a lamb who pulls you up, when you fall by the wayside.

    Beautiful and wise, Rowan. This reminds me of one of the scariest features of parenthood. Our children’s transition to mature adulthood.
