“Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told ‘I’m with you kid. Let’s go’” — Maya Angelou

I was looking through my photos for a picture to illustrate texture and came across this. Certainly the textures found in the lives of these strong women qualify. I find it awesome to just think about the softness of their hearts, the hardness of the steel fueling their gumption, the kindness of their hands on a child’s feverish face, the hot rash of passion in their lives and the rough calluses of their ranch worn hands. And it’s all beautiful.

How very timely–cowgirls will figure large in our lives around here for the next couple days.
A neat and creative way to express texture. The texture of our lives. I’ll remember that one.
Excellent!
