Alive and well

Today's my birthday.  And, i'm sooooo one of those people who celebrate.  

Here i am doing what feeds my soul the most: dancing + photography (there was camera wrapped around my wrist.)  

Don’t ask what the world needs.

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.

Because what the world needs is is people who have come alive.

-Howard Thurman

Until next time

It's all about the memories

We start off  trying to teach our children what life is all about,

  when somewhere along the way 

our children in fact begin to teach us 

what life is all about.

And, for this family 

 it's all about  the memories.

Without you our life wouldn't be the same...

 Happy Bday, Noam!

Until next time,

B.

when they are together 

they are never more than 

a heartbeat away from 

each other

My duty...

I had a totally different blog planned for today but then life got real - earlier this week while riding to work, just days after his 42nd bday, the love of my life was hit by a car.  And, while he is okay.  The incident landed him in the ER, with a high radial shoulder fracture and me with a little help from Grey's Anatomy, this is where i landed:

Life is the most fragile, unstable, unpredictable thing there is.   

In fact, there’s only one thing in life we can be sure of. 

It ain’t over till its over.

Life is indeed the most fragile, unstable and unpredictable experience there is.   There are no signs forecasting the arrival of change.  It just shows up.  And we're tasked to feel our way through, to meet it and its effects with some sort of gusto, style - verve.

 Met CP.  He's the love of my life and

one of the most honest, generous

 

in ways large and small, acts random or orchestrated,

  kind, thoughtful, loving

  

 good-to-the-bone, gorgeous,

 

 father, provider, supportive

human being ever.

And, when i checked in with him a couple of weeks ago about our relationship and its innards.  Here's a little snippet of our conversation :  

me:"You good?"
CP: "Yup."

me: "It's still good, right...?  Right. "
CP:  "Yeah, i still consider it my duty..."

me: "huh? Whaaaat?!
CP: "Yeah, you know.
CP:  "i still consider it my du-ty....pause...(wait for it, wait for it)......
       to pleeeease the boo-ty.

Oh, reality t.v. and CP - you deliver every time:)

 I love you forever.



Until next time,
B

If a man

has any greatness

in him, 

 it comes

 to light,

 not in one

 

flamboyant hour,

 but in the ledger

  of his daily work.

Welcome to my spotlight series.  I've had the deep pleasure of capturing some spectacular father/daughter, father/son relationships over the years.  For the entire month of June I'm going to focus on showing you images of what that love has looked liked.  I hope you enjoy!

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,

 having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,

but pouring them all out, just as they are,

chaff and grain together,

 

certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,

keep what is worth keeping,

and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
