First steps

‘The longest journey begins with a single step’, once said Lao Tzu.

And today, after eleven months, two weeks and two days, Leo took his first step. Naturally. Apparently without thinking of it.

Of course still a bit shaky, hesitant, unsure. But by himself, without anybody helping him.

And we, silent witnesses of this new milestone, observed (a little bit moved) our little bird flying off - aware that this step will be followed by many many more.

Dear Leo, we wish you could walk through hundreds of countries, run dozens of marathons, reach dozens of mountain summits on your feet. Remember then, all started with a first step today…
