This morning I walked my daughter to school. It doesn't happen as much as it used to since she usually walks with friends. On the way we had a great conversation. I started reliving my walks to high school with firends decades ago and relaying how we used to shake trees to release the frost. My daughter was more focused on the tightening of her face due to the cold and I became aware of this for myself. I welcomed the cold, the tightening of my face, how this moment with my daughter made it all worth it. It was the highlight of my day. In the past it would have faded into the business of life, but now I am more aware of the "textures' in my day to day and how they flow together
