 - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. - Rainer Maria Rilke

“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.” - Socrates

Beaker Babes and Flight Training

"It's time to fly. Turn around."

"Oh it's so far down . . . ."

"You go first."

Beaker Babes in Transition

"Momma's late again for breakfast."
"Yeah, what up with that?"

'That winging exercise made me dizzy."
"Hum a little. Just hum."

"I'm getting a little cranky."
"Ha! A little?"

"I just caught a bug. Oh, juicy!"

"I dreamed that I flew over the trees. All by myself."
"You'd miss me for sure."

"My toes are numb."
"Wriggle them and stop whining."
"Control. You're always into control."

"Mommeeee. I wanna fly."

"We gotta do this together. Push. Flap. Stretch. Let's get outta here!"

So good it makes me giddy!

Eyes Open for the Beaker Babes

"Whoa, Wow. Hey, my eyes just opened. Kinda dizzy."

"Whatsa tail?  Oh, just look. There's so much out there."

"Oh, fine. Get a manicure."

"What's a manicure? Mommeeee!"
