To me, these eyes are magic. I look into them and see so much beauty. But more than what I see in them is the magic that I get to see through them everyday. To a child who is happy, the world is new, it is surprising, and it is magic. Here are a few things that Solanne has taught me to see:
The tiny dust motes that float around in the sunlight that streams in through the window look like stars.
A violin is a small guitar.
Baby Cookie Monster looks like Baby Elmo (even if he's blue).
There are flowers, birds, and cats everywhere in our neighbourhood.
There are a surprising number of O's and A's in the world.
"Blue" is not so much a colour as a feeling; if there's something that makes her feel happy, it's blue.
I am beautiful.
The sky is something we can touch, if only someone big enough would hold us up.
We have a cat in our floor.
