This morning I was surfing the web while sipping my first cup of coffee. I found the image on the left of this post on this web site. The artist/photographer is Michael Garlington. I choose this image because as soon as I saw it...... I was struck with a strong deep feeling of deja vu. I felt like I was looking at me.... the way I used to look as a little girl. In fact.... everything about the image is so much like me as a child that it is in a way kind of eerie. I wanted to reach out and take that little girl in my arms and comfort her and whisper in her ear..... "I know.... you don't have to say the words.... I know what is happening to you"....."no wonder you have that look in your eyes". Sometimes in this life... you think back to a time that..... in the clear light of day and.... you wonder how you survived it. You almost feel like a phantom going back and forth between then and now..... and when you think about the numbing pain that you felt when you were so little and powerless..... but at the same time so mighty that you did endure and are strong beyond all human strength. You quickly leap forward to the now because after all.... you are a grown up and have the power of choices and communication to protect you. Now....... when I do "leap forward" I land in the arms of my angel.
