Ashley,

I hope for you....

Sturdy shoes in graduating sizes and beautiful colors.

Shoes that allow your feet to feel the changing soil and the trailing sun.

That the soles of your shoes will wear well-thin as you walk and explore and dance and plod and wander and sway and stand still and firm. Then it's on to the next pair for the next stretch of road.

Feet that plant in the ground beneath you.

Feet that walk away when you're done.

Feet that carry you to the next adventure.

Feet that move you forward even when it's dark.

Feet that will bring you back to me when you need me. And when I need you.

A strong tread and sure steps.

A thoughtful tread and cautious steps.

Many questions, mysteries, and opportunities to depend on our Dear One's guiding hand.
