Fire Wash

A few days ago Il Tonino signed "fire wash" while pointing to the white sage smudge stick. Every once in a while he'll ask to be smudged, but that was the first time he'd called it "fire wash." We think that is a brilliant and very apt description.

He'd had a tantrum shortly before that and after the smudge was totally calm and happy again. A good reminder of the power of nature in connection with our minds-bodies. I love it that he is so in tune with that, and hope he doesn't lose so much of it as he grows.
