It was my mom who taught me what beauty truly is. She opened up my world as a small child to the feeling of dirt between my fingers and the smell of fresh dew on leaves in the morning. And helped reveal to me the emotion in art and the beauty in poetry. She was a woman who roared, never purred and taught me to do the same. This is for you, mom. I’m going to chase my dreams. 🩷 @NIV_ELC #ELCNIVCatalysts #ELCNIVContest #jointhecatalysts
