If you want a happy life ....... lower your expectations.
— Tallulah 8 years old

Inspired by my children and their ability to find magic in the ordinary, I photographed this series, as they candidly dove into a closed pool at midnight. Like a scent, transporting you to memory, I was reminded how true to their nature... present and aware children experience life. No expectations, no boundaries and no filters. Raw and mysterious.

And something ignited my soul,
fever or unremembered wings,
and i went my own way,
deciphering
that burning fire
and i wrote the first bare line,
bare, without substance, pure
foolishness,
pure wisdom
of one who knows nothing,
and suddenly i saw
the heaven
unfastened
and open.
— La Poesia, by Pablo Neruda
