dewdrops
watch the dewdrops in the morning,
shake their little diamond heads,
sparkling, flashing, ever moving,
from their silent little beds.
see the grass! each blade is brightened,
roots are strengthened by their stay;
like the dewdrops, let us scatter
gems of love along the way.

That is a pretty poem and picture! Peter has been up at sunrise going for walks recently.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a pretty poem? I think it should be in all the Waldorf children's poetry books!
DeleteThat's so good of Peter to be up early and walking. I would like Greg and I do be out early a few times during the week for a bicycle ride, but so far I haven't moved on the idea. Today I said to myself . . start with just one day. I used to have Mondays for a bicycle ride with the girls when homeschooling. Perhaps I can get us to go together this coming Monday.
Yes, it would be perfect for Waldorf school students.
DeleteYes, remember the homeschool/organizing advice "baby-steps"? Just try it once for a short time, don't plan a long bike ride, just a short one once a week.
Yes, and here it is Monday evening and I completely forgot I was going to try and get out this morning. I need to write "bike ride" on a piece of paper and leave it in the kitchen as a reminder to mention it to Greg. LOL
DeleteDid you manage to get out?
