although the picture is of my son, i feel like it was taken of me. standing on a edge of an expanse that i sometimes feel is empty, but yet full of beautiful things. space waiting for me to decide how to fill it. the edge of something that is so much greater than myself that it scares the hell out of me... but it's familiar, and i think i can remember how to swim. like him, in the image, i just feel so small compared to something so huge, with gravity i cannot fully grasp. but if i sit back and take it in, i can see how amazing it is. and even though there is rain, i appreciate and welcome this view. despite how scary it can feel.
Nicely put. And a stunning picture of your big boy:)
