-

What could be more beautiful than life itself? That place we have found ourselves lost in, free in. To roam as children; stumbling, falling and wondering. To share in that place, our place. Memories of childhood, memories of the animals, of the birds. Memories of places and people we have never seen before.

Are we made in the same as of the earth, and of each other? And like characters in a play, do we hide behind our masks until it is all but too clear, and we see the truth? Until we stand naked, do we stand without ourselves, as children playing hide and seek, from the candid, honest face of life itself?
