Welcome the Leblanc family

Okay, first post.

The idea is I am shooting the life of a couple during their expectancy. For this project, with the help of the Sudbury Community Midwifes on Paris St. Here is their website: www.sudburymidwives.com

I am documenting the Leblanc family.

The plan is to be there every month, document the progress and ultimately be at the birth and document it as well. Me hopes….I had done this when we had danielle and the pics are amazing. Check those out here.

Here’s my fave poem on children…
A poem on “children”:
From “The Prophet”
By Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you, but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies, but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your
dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not
to make them like you,
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of
the infinite, and He bends you with his might
that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so
He loves also the bow that is stable.
