Needed to Update...

Since we are half-way through 2010 and I am feeling guilty for not posting in 2009, I thought it might be nice to add a little slideshow of some of the highlights for Kayah and I in 2009. Here's a poem I wrote recently. It fits my mood at the moment...

"A glistening radiance shining upon me. The dark night is broken by this small sliver of beauty. So small and seemingly so alone in the vast depth of the night. I look up and see the surround of stars and get a sense of warmth despite the chilling cold moving through the air and through my skin. I shiver, I smile, I close my eyes and say a silent prayer of thanks. I'm here this night looking at the purity of existence amidst the darkness of the sky. I'm here to witness simplicity at its finest amidst the chaos of the spinning world. I'm here feeling a strong sense of passion for life despite the challenges that have been tossed my way. This tiny piece of solitude holds much significance, much purpose in the universe. Lives depend on this brilliance for direction, for guidance, for comfort. A glistening radiance so small, yet so heavy with importance. I look into her eyes and squeeze her tight. My saving grace, my glistening radiance, my purity of existence, my simplicity of the world, my passion for life, my guiding light of comfort, my beautiful child.
My daughter."
For Kayah, my amazing little miracle!
