Sometimes I wonder why we love to take pictures and put them into frames…
Perhaps it’s to capture a moment after which we will never be the same.
We all grow a little every day with new experiences adding to our repertoire…
which continuously change the people we were…into the people who we are…
And so to it is with family…each time we enter through our door
we are all a little different than we were the time before.
We are all like nimble dancers…in a beautiful ballet
continuously transforming…in many quiet…subtle ways.
And so times we get together are happily arranged
to visit with each other…to see how much we all have changed…
Yet we know in spite of all the changes….those we can and cannot see
we all share something permanent…we are a family.
Perhaps that’s why we love to take pictures…and put them into frames…
Not to remind us how much we change….but how much we stay the same.
