Every birthday reminds me: childhood isn’t a phase to manage—it’s a teacher. Naomi shows me how to meet life with curiosity and speed‑of‑heart, not speed‑of‑mind.
Six Lessons from Six
- Joy is a compass—if it’s not here, slow down until it is.
- Repair quickly. Hugs are faster than arguments.
- Simple rhythms beat complex plans.
- Play is serious spiritual practice.
- Tell the truth kindly and immediately.
- Celebrate small things—they grow when seen.

I’m careful about what I share. May this speak more about fatherhood than about a specific child.
