POST 05// Lucé

Charity felt like an ethereal being when I met her. Someone not from the same world that I live in. I had heard of her for months prior without ever seeing a photograph or hearing a description of her curly hair, toned physic and wild eyes. But when she walked into the room I knew exactly who she was. A sea of people surrounded her and she somehow floated in carrying a dish and a magnetic spirit. I had to know her. We were instant soul friends. She might giggle at me saying this but a true sister of the heart. Given our love for birth and the female birthright as we call it — to bear and give life to a child, we decided to get coffee. She lives and breaths a different air than me, and yet I felt like we crossed over into each other’s atmospheres. And there was an understanding. An understanding and a knowing. I think of her often - over in Puerto Rico living off the land and bringing life to soil and humanity. I know you’ll be able to see her vibrancy through these photos. But you can only be so lucky to experience her face to face. A uniquely beautiful soul that I am privileged and honored to have crossed paths with. Maybe we will see each other again earth-side, or maybe we won’t but she left an imprint on me and her warmth and beauty changed me. I can only hope I did her soul justice in these photos. It’s all I ever aim to do.
