The Very Stuff of Life
Prompt: Earth
Kirstin loved to walk barefoot. She did not care what was under her feet as long as it was the solid earth and not a boat.
The first thing she did when she and her baby daughter got to the park was to take her shoes off. It was the same when they went to the beach, her favourite, for she got to feel the sand between her toes.
At home, she watched with pride and joy as her little princess stood up on the rug for the first time in their living room and as she took her first step on the wooden floor in the kitchen.
No matter where mother and daughter stood or went, they were safe, for the earth beneath them made it so. They were connected to something greater than themselves.
And for the women who had once simply been known as The Captains Daughter, that was a comforting thought.
