it rained outside, so we camped inside.

i was recently introduced to the work of tim walker and i can't stop looking at this photo. every bit of everything i aim to face each day with is right here. i ache just looking at it. 

and today my prayer is this: may this philosophy -- this perspective -- always guide me. today, next week, someday when i'm a mother of a houseful and a storm rages out the window: when it rains outside, please oh please may i think to camp inside.
