oil and ocean
May 31, 2010
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

– Native American proverb

I can’t stop thinking about, dwelling on, living with the natural oil that unnaturally bleeds into the ocean and my heart.

In this week’s mama digs, I write about Margot’s eyes. Saturated, vibrant oil. And Ruby’s eyes. Vast, surging ocean. Both naturally occurring, both powerful.

Aw, Nici. I read it and then went back and read so slowly…taking in each…stopping to think about it…to picture it…to see it. And I saw. That was beautiful, my friend. In so many ways. You are so talented…and I am so blessed to have you in my life.

thanks for that little slice of beauty. it’s hard to function normally these days, knowing that catastrophic amounts of oil are spilling into the ocean. i hope we can somehow fix this one. i hope this proves to be a lesson learned.

of course like your web-site but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I will certainly come back again.
