grated crocuses


                             open your eyes
                             and see 
                             what you can see 
                             with them
                             before they close
                             forever.

                                      all the light you cannot see
it has been an eye opening week...
volunteering with the dovetail program at the cridge centre for the family 
has exponentially increased my gratitude index for this life given to me.
working with women and children who come from abusive homes 
has really opened up my eyes to how very delicate the structure of the family is 
and how important our job as mothers truly is.

oh... but these women are strong !!!
and the children have such resilience and beautiful eyes !!!



wishing you all a wonderful weekend

    1. I love that quote too...he uses it several times in the book. Volunteering is such a gift (to me), and this one in particular is extra special.
