Friday, 26 April 2013: Twenty-Five Days Old.

Tonight, on the first full moon since she was born, we held a “blessing ceremony” for Ayla at the Foreshore.

The blessing was very simple, casual and lovely; nothing more than a few very close friends, a glass of bubbles and a short poem.

We asked the elements to look after her and make her safe, give her courage and show her love.

A bit alternative, we know, but considering we pray to the fish gods more than anything else we thought it fitting 🙂
