the unspoken family dream…
June 18, 2010
My photography work landed me on a private island off the coast of Maine a few weeks ago for just a weekend. It was only my second destination shoot and I was in a sort of awe the entire time. This particular land was magical in a way I can’t quite put words to. Maybe because it was private and so few people were there or maybe because the beauty was so overwhelming, but I could not get over how free and safe I felt. Free to really wander, free in a way I have never experienced before. There was nothing keeping me from soaking all of it in, way down deep.
“Babe, do you feel like we are in Narnia?” my husband asked while we hiked in a soft rain.
“Yes! Oh, I hope we get to meet Aslan!” I cheesily and wholeheartedly replied.

it’s an enchanted forest
where elves and sprites and faeries play
filled with magic and sunshine
even on a rainy day
if you close your eyes and tilt your head
take a deep breath and wiggle your toes
you will feel our earth mother come alive
and start whistling her happy tune
and the best way to say thank you
is by dancing in the mossy dew
and laughing with delight
