YEAR OF ZEN: SUMMER: DAY 18

A Dance to the Music of Time - Nicolas Poussin

Q: Change your pace. Jump, skip, and dance! How else can you move?

A: This year we have been working a lot with Eli on his language development. It has not come together as quickly as it did for his sister and he has been diagnosed as autistic. One of the things we do is dance and sing with him, as language via music is a place where he feels very comfortable expressing himself. It is a joyous thing, full of motion and noise, and I consider a sacred space for our family when it manifests.
