One day I was in the backyard with the kids, snapping pictures of them in the fading autumn afternoon, my heart so full with their beauty, yet haunted by a love which has yet to be. I felt ashamed--almost--for sensing this coming love, and wanting it. Afterall, I have so much love already. And yet.
I decided to turn the camera on myself. I laid very still in the cool grass, feeling the pull of a fate I know in my bones is coming like a tide, pulling me into its center. Then I looked deep into the lens at that fate, that love. And I snapped the shutter.
your lovely, loving face brought a smile to my own this evening... what a sweet surprise to see you looking back as the computer screen came into focus/finished downloading. your eyes are filled with possibilities and the thrill of your life...an inspiration. it must be quite an honor to feel fate pulling you to its center. i send love and light to you my dear.
ReplyDeletejennifer, thank you for your sweet and dear comment, which has brought a smile. i am bashful, but must ask: who are you? i know quite a few jennifers--all of them lovely, in fact, but would like to know precisely which lovely jennifer you indeed are. blessings...
