Friends in
the Garden

While growing up, my family moved around frequently. The memories I have of my childhood reveal constantly changing sets, both exterior and interior. This time in my life would have been very difficult to adjust to except for the friends I acquired, some were real, others were fantasy. It is the determination a child disguises, to help it segue into an adult that enables us to see beyond any immediate distortion. Later on in life when we look back onto this time, it is with the help of a few friends in the garden.
