A Valentine Birthday

Mac on my Mac

Mac the Monkey ©2009 Bo Mackison

A quarter century ago my Valentine’s Day might not have been the most romantic, but it was the most memorable. My second child, and only son, arrived mid-afternoon, a nine and a half pound Valentine. One of the sweetest Valentines I know, he’s studying elementary education. Wants to show little kids, especially, little boys, that learning can be fun.

I am so proud.

Happy birthday, guy. Enjoy the game. (Hope Wisconsin beats Ohio State!)

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
