Pictures Of The Heart

Pictures are such an amazing part of my life.

I look at them and see myself when I was younger, much younger and know how I looked as an infant, or a child. I can still "see" my mother, or father even though they have been gone for a long time.

I am able to gaze on my grandchildren from a distance and look at their photos next to the ones of their parents when they were that age.

And then there are pictures of the heart, those scenes described to me by friends that I will never see in print, but which still have a way of invading my life in soft moments and these will never fade.

I suppose they are the oldest sort of pictures there are, the only ones that existed before cameras and great artists, kind of antique photos of the most priceless sort, but no matter what sort they are, pictures are a huge part of my life.
