Observation
I see her face: exhausted, loving, devoted, encouraging.
Two years ago I had my first child. Wise nature made pain and sacrifice come with pure, immeasurable love.
I see his face: unwelcoming, reluctant, yet unstoppable.
Now we are parents, protecting and guiding while aware of life's darkness. The tension and balance of opposing forces will always be with us. creation and destruction coexist.
My child: life is a gift. Laugh at the mundane. Dance, dream, keep wonder alive. Everything else is just noise.
