Moments of No Return.....

....we have a few of these true points of no return in our lives....one of these is when you learn to ride a bike. You can never un-learn it, except, maybe, through a traumatic brain injury. All kidding aside, it's such a milestone in life. I was so happy to be there to watch the elation on my child's face as she realized that she was riding by herself and I wasn't holding on to her anymore. A point of no return for her....and for me. She will go on to try lots of things in her life...eventually realizing that she doesn't need me to hold on anymore. I just hope I can be there to see the joy on her face with each triumph and offer the shoulder of encouragement for the failures.

Namaste
