Children Observed

A   L   O   H   A  !

“ The soul should always stand
 ajar, 
ready to welcome
 the ecstatic experience.”

 Emily Dickinson















Look what I caught!

" The creative individual
 has the capacity to free himself 
from the web of social pressures 
in which the rest of us are caught.
 He is capable of 
questioning the assumptions
 that the rest of us 
accept.  "

John W. Gardner





















" The most remarkable thing 
about my mother
 is that for thirty years 
she served the family
 nothing but leftovers. 
The original meal
 has never been 
found.  "

Calvin Trillin

  3. one thing I do actually like about myself is that I never lost the child within me
    she's alive and well :)

    I love the Mom with a firm grasp on the collar of the deep sea explorer

  11. Even if experiencing the Ecstatic is close to edge of my boundary, I am thankful for the fear of falling over.
