For the first time I attempted to use a flickr photo, so the layout is a little odd as I am still getting used to the process! The second photo is of my grandmother, taken a week or so before she died, a month before her 104th birthday.
go anywhere, do as I choose
- grown-up freedom
picking berries, running free,
- childhood freedom
i love the wide, deep message that these lines convey.
