Slow down and look at what this baby bear is doing. Just one thing. Holding his bottle with both paws, eyes half closed, cheeks soft, completely inside the moment. No rush. No plan. The words LOVE YOU float above him in cloud letters, pink and rounded, and the background is pale blue with tiny stars and soft clouds scattered like thoughts. His diaper shows a little stripe at the waist. Even that is drawn gently. There's a lesson in how he breathes. Slow in. Slow out. Nothing to fix. Nothing to answer. The whole picture is the size of one small breath. I try to remember this on loud days. One thing at a time. Both paws on the cup. Eyes soft. The world can wait outside the clouds. It'll still be there, but you'll come back to it kinder. The clouds across the bottom have scalloped edges, stitched in soft white. Small stars dot the sky in twos and threes. His little ears are rounded, one flopped slightly. Nothing is perfect here and that's the point. Attention is a kind of love. Breathe with him. Four in. Six out. #bear #baby #loveyou #breathe
