| Ripened in its Time by Kirsten Borror 2012 Acrylic 5x5 |
This fish takes 2 years to develop it's coloration, and it's worth the wait to see it ripen into such a display. Likewise it's been worth everything to see our three sons develop into young men. Today our last son started college in DC . How do you describe what it's like to raise three children over 25 years?
All the prayers, tears, beaming, anxiety, love, beholding, encouraging, witnessing, sharing, playing...turned upside down over my own selfishness or complete sacrifice it is endlessly meaningful. It has meant ever yearning to be the recipient and dispenser of enough holy love and nurture that would set them off on the path that they should go. It seems like material enough for a thousand films, all of them full of enough poignancy and universality to earn an Oscar every time. My sons have carried me to a mountaintop of betterment simply by arriving in my life. They truly are gifts from my Father in heaven.
