Sugar and kisses. – Echo and the Bunnymen

This shot evoked this song from somewhere deep in my heart. Strong enough to shine through back then, and still provides the sinews to shine through again.

It’s how I responded when people asked me what my little ones were “mixed” with. Sugar and kisses, or sugar and spice and everything nice. In a presence that does not change and in a mind that forever inspires, thank goodness for the living spirit in every one of them, thank goodness that they are the children of God whether they know it or not.

These days especially fresh after a practice, I get a dose of mustiness, yet they will forever be filled with sugar and kisses and I can’t be thankful enough for it.
