2/5

honestly,
not the best snap from the studio today
but i got suckered by that light

once
when i was little
a friend of mine admired a doll that i had
i didn't really care about it
and i told my mother i would give it to her
my mom said it was too dirty
we needed to clean her up first
so we washed her
combed her hair
made her clothes nice
and by the time we were done
she looked so nice
i wanted to keep her

same thing with cleaning for guests
it looks so nice when you are done
you wonder why you don't do those things for yourself

there is another aspect to this as well
the care invested
and the discoveries one makes
in the process of cleaning
these things create/reinforce connection
in a very gentle way
