"I've been thinking about existence lately. In fact, I have been so full of admiration for existence that I have hardly been able to enjoy it properly . . . I feel sometimes as if I were a child who opens its eyes on the world once and sees amazing things it will never know any names for and then has to close its eyes again."
-Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
P.S. I was headed to my computer to post this quote, with my nose in the book. I suddenly heard John shriek. I looked down, and there was Natalie, in the midst of a diaper change, just where my foot was about to land.
P.S.S. Guess who this is and where the photo was taken. To see more stunning photos click here.

"a child who opens its eyes on the world once and sees amazing things it will never know any names for and then has to close its eyes again"...just like Baby Natalie!
This was beautiful, thx for sharing!
oh I love this quote!
As much as I love a certain person who shall remain nameless, I was forced to delete her comment today. This is because there are certain people who know certain people and are familiar with certain photographs who MIGHT just spoil the fun for certain other people.
