Bathed in children...


I want to write a note about children.
I am a mama, a nanny and a children's photographer. They have got me surrounded. I have done my research. The perils of it all are overwhelming, but to actually envision the complete picture of what they hold stretches the imagination. We can travel down that way for a short time, a quiet moment of them playing, a minute of admiration at nap time, but we would lose our place in the day to sit and encompass their role in life at this very place in time.

Children remind you you are a static thing moving farther away everyday. To not give the best of us is foolish.

It is incomprehensible how wonderful children are in their untarnished innocence.
Man is inherently good Hobbes, all you need to do is see a child.

Enjoy them when they are little. They are static too. They deserve the best of us.

I have recently been lucky enough to see the Dalai Lama and listen to him speak.

(Perhaps a little of him is sneaking into this post. )
