inside. quiet. mysterious.
who holds the key?
little light illuminates stories
pour forth as the day awakes & opens to alert ears.
smirk. twinkle. flicker.
i hold the key.
little light illuminates interdependence
reaches out as hands reach & open to hold.
mystifying. sparkling. radiant.
open.
true.
my sweet girl finishes being ten today. 8pm (ish) June 3, 2000 she was born & so we celebrate small with numbers and song, camping and cake, swimming and traditions only known to the secret order of the s-d gang. my husband shares a bit of her sweetness over here. this girl, ellibella like the beautiful radiant light that streams through the water or the fog & trees....this girl middle name skye like the miraculous creation it is, well, she shines.
pure & true.
Love that girl. Happy Birthday to her. Tell her that when we all woke up this morning she was the first person who entered our minds.
