Bath Time

My first response to this was: “Awwwww.” The more I looked at this photograph, though, the more I was overcome by the dichotomy of it. It’s simplistic and complex all at once. Take one look and you see a small baby getting a bath. Take another and see how gently but firmly the large hands envelope the child, ensuring safety and conveying love. Loving a baby: unconditional, overwhelming, heart-swelling and time-stopping.
