{birth: art. life} baby as art as I see it...

"Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment, we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches."

I loved that this mama wanted her baby to open her bright new eyes....cause i love those eyes... when you meet them, after time.. you want to see those gooey, crossed eyes...
