" Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives " - Camille Pagila

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush

How cute is he? And the quote? I love it and I'm terrified by it.
Exactly!
Oh. And he's beautiful.
I've always appreciated Camille Pagila's writing. More often then not, she is spot on.
Nice! I always love your pics. I love the quote too.
Love it! That's funny and oh so true!
I LOVE that photo.
Swinging is good for all ages!
And during that time of "exhilarating liberty" their mothers go grey. ;)
Dakota Wolf is adorable, and I have to admit that I believe Camille Paglia's views and writing are over-rated. Methinks she doth protest too much -- in general...
handsome boy!
haha...can a mother ever really stop???? :)
so sweet...although that seems strange to say, because dakota is clearly a young man. he reminds me of that cute jasom mraz in these photos.
i pray he enjoys his breif season.

He looks like such a happy boy... freedom looks great on him :)
I love that quote.
It's kind of cute to see gangly young men on a swing that not so long ago their short legs could not even touch the ground. My son at almost 14 is all arms and legs...how fast time went to see him becoming a man....
Look at him, so beautiful, poised between childhood's safety and a man's mysteries. I want to whisk him up and run away with him. And protect him.
I have one too. He is 16. I know.
Thank you for thinking my boy is beautiful :) I do too.
And Glimmer- yes, that's it.
And BEth= haha!
And Elizabeth- I'm not too familiar with her. Not enough to really have an opinion.
What a cutie!
that first picture is stunning. it's like you captured the brief season. i see the man he's going to be in it.
What an interesting viewpoint.
Dakota Wolf is a gorgeous young man. God bless his free spirit, and may it remain free for him, and for his Higher Power to guide him!
Here I am with Elizabeth about Camille Paglia's claims and writings, she is not someone I am inclined to read now, or for that matter who held my interest for long when I did. Too much stridency and too little melody to be effective for me. She is too thunderous to attract the flies that count, the ones that really could change the ointment.
"If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts." Excuse me Camille, speaking for yourself most certainly?
Dakota Wolf is gorgeous, and he has a smile that lights up a room!
Great images and quote!
What a wonderful smile.
oh yeah- got one of them. I want him to run, he is ready- bristling.
The picture, the words, the boy, the mother - ALL WONDERFUL!
What adorable photos, Maggie.
Great pictures and accompanying quote!
These are amazing photos! He's so handsome, and what great style...LOVE the hat!
P.S. -- He should smile all the time. I bet he lights up a room with that smile.
great quote!
You quoted Camille Paglia! You are awesome. Cool pics too.
Such great pictures - what a cutie!
Also? I LOVE the picture of the building with the light on in the window that is on your sidebar. Doesn't that look like one of the best places on Earth?
This reminds me: I need to swing more. And breathe deeply, unclench my fists, sigh, as my boys grow into men.
Great pix! He is so handsome!
... and the hat, too cool.
Oh so scarey as a mum of 2 boys! LOVE the photos. Stuck between boy and man.
He is so cute. Hold onto him as long as you can!!!
Love that quote!
I miss you! Haven't been here in a long time, and have been thinking of you. I'm back!
Agreed!
And, I must say--what an awesome hat to go along with that wonderful smile!
Oh Maggie, I love that he is smiling and wearing that hat while swinging and allowing you to take the photo...and post it.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Lola
handsome and happy, swinging free.
Interesting quote.
