Happy Birthday, Sophie!

26 years on the planet

New York, New York March 1995

She was born on a cold New York City winter night and made me a mother. She has shaped me, taught me nearly everything of significance that I know, has never spoken a word, her eyes dark pools darkness and light a tree-lover a mermaid a powerful powerful woman.

Santa Monica, California March 2021 (Sophie had eyes dilated earlier, hence the glasses!)
