In that picture you are Everymother. In that regard, we are all the same. It's just that your journey to do all of that's been harder than most of ours.<br /><br />I'm thinking that your recent move back to nature was probably the best thing you could have done. You obviously derive great strength from the great outdoors. And it's your muse.Kim Van Sicklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957877837203134260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607988938023368182.post-19127258584544753592012-10-25T09:32:05.393-07:002012-10-25T09:32:05.393-07:00Thank you, Kathy.

Your picture also seems to be a great metaphor for your life with you crossing that stream, holding your child close and easing through, one step at a time, protecting, caring, loving.

You have found the richness of life that so many others never see: the value of taking Gwen out into the woods and the valuable photograph. This is realistic art. This is love.
