So at my window this morning, I have no desire to sketch just to think and be in my head. A granddaughter turns 14 today and her birthday, all birth days really inspire thoughts of the goodness of motherhood. No matter what a person's circumstance, when a mother looks at that newborn in her arms, feels the warmth of that new life, smells and breathes in the freshness of her-- a miracle is realized.
Then as we get older and go through our choices, circumstances that we create; we become wiser and more thoughtful about life, what it means to be human and how we decide our own human-ness will take shape. For me, my children were a part of that process and due to their insight and observance they were able to absorb some of the good that was around them. I'm not saying there weren't any negatives around, but I guess part of the miracle of humans is that each generation is better and wiser.
Ok, so now on to celebrations the one today and for all birth days past and future.
