Where the clover grows wild (goodies), 2007, oil on canvas, 15″ x 15″ by Darlene Cole
If there were one thing I’d want to change about my childhood, I couldn’t think of any. Not because I was raised in a castle or extravagance but because, while I was growing up, my life was my castle.
My little life of a castle holds memories of a father who thought me how to skate, to tie my shoes, and bought me a pretty spring dress with shoes every Easter. I remember every time I would first put on that dress and the Mary Janes, I would hurry on out to the sun and its golden fields – my only true spectators – being careful of course to remain “proper”.
Now that was true genuine pride. Wouldn’t it be nice if life were always that simple?
