If you get a little sand in your hair every once in a while, you’re doing something right. Pristine is for museums and galleries. You can choose to spend your time constantly battling the chaos, the never ending chores, the keeping things in plastic in mint condition. But to what end?
Living means letting go of control and embracing the journey you are on. It is alright to let someone wander a little further each time and explore the world in their own time rather than to dictate every step and discovery in order to protect them. Relinquishing our need for safety and order at all times is where true joy and peace resides.
I’m not saying be foolish or lazy or cavalier. But to understand where that line is for you. Go get some sand in your hair.
