And I heard you say

Let me be wild and tangled and free

Let me run and yell and catch things

And come back dirty and shining, with thistles in my hair

I am tired of being timid, you said

I am tired of being quiet, perfectly creative

I want to leave my closet door open at night

I want to climb out of the window of who I am expected to be

And leap into the reality of wishes landing

In a cascade of cherry blossoms

"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not..." emerson

cute & fuzzy! want one?



 I have two cats, Icarus and Samwise Gamgee, and am guilty of being the aunt who always brings treats for my friends' dogs.  So when Rachel Cohen asked me to photograph the animals and volunteers that participate in her Hand2Paw non-profit, I leapt at the chance! Rachel's program has been doing something wonderful: training homeless teens to treat and train needy animals, and both parties get some love! Check out her site and then get out there and support them, whether it's with a donation, volunteer hours, or adopting one of the many beautiful, funny, amazing animals who need a home.
