My daughter, Manzanita Rei Allen, was born May 10th, 2012 in San Francisco. The past months have been a blur as home life overwhelmed (in the best way) and work needed to keep rolling ahead.
I put a lot of faith in words, but there’s none that are adequate to describe the feelings that come along with having a child enter the world. One day I will take my stream-of-consciousness ramblings from the last months of journals on the subject, and make them into something I’ll share.
Instead of a coherent essay, for now, here’s a video, some pictures, a couple of sketches.
