Happy 26th Birthday, Sophie!

 


She was born on a cold New York City winter night and made me a mother. She has shaped me, taught me nearly everything of significance that I know, has never spoken a word, her eyes dark pools darkness and light a tree-lover a mermaid a powerful powerful woman.

    Happy 26th Birthday, Sophie and Elizabeth. In the last few weeks, something prompted me to re-watch "The Secret of Roan Inish," and I was startled to see how much Nuala, the Selkie (seal-woman), reminded of you, Sophie. Your presence, your powerful female spirit, drawn to the ocean.

      Oh my goodness! That was the last movie I watched before giving birth to Sophie! I’ve written about it before — Sophie IS a selkie.
