The Mama and her two girls


Inseperable
I walked rapidly, reaching out to grasp everything life would have to offer.
In my haste, I found that I had reached the end of the journey without seeing the wonders that surrounded me on either side.
Oh! - to retrace my steps, smell every fragrance, hear the slendorous concertos, and feel the softness of a tiny baby's hand.
Then contemplating what I thought I had missed, I realized that I had experienced it all -- otherwise,
I would have been ignorant of the knowledge of bliss.
