Gargoyles and Starting Fresh

okay, so it seems that i'm still struggling with writing to you...  its that privacy/openness fight on which i am constantly teetering.  *eye roll*  i've decided to start from today and move forward...  one day, soon, i'll make one big post on your first months of life.  they were incredibly meaningful to me and you've been beyond a dream, so i owe it to you to understand your roots.  focusing on you during those days was all that was important to me. 

for now, just, i love you.  xo

one of my favorite pieces of art by michael parkes.  his artwork is very cirque de soleil.  dreamy.  i love this one for the innocence of the girl, whom obviously woke from her slumber to play with her strong and muscular gate keepers.  i love the contrast of the fierce gargoyles and tenderness of the sleepy, playful girl, her bubbles, jump rope, and bear.

we found a permanent caretaker for you through july and she has a michael parkes print on her wall above her mantle.  i was so surprised to see it!  she had forgotten the name of the painting and i let her know - Eternity.
