Following Huck
Posted by Inexplicable Ways on May 21, 2008
Before Norah was born, we painted the words “Follow Huck” on the walls of her nursery. I’m a fan of Huck Finn (though not so fond of Tom Sawyer). He had an honest soul and a seeker heart. He searched for truth even when “sivilized” society taught a different morality. I’m not sure what deep rivers Norah will cross but I pray Grace will be her raft.
Ok, and maybe I hope she’ll keep holding our hands…

love these pictures and your sentiments… we are holden caufield lovers, but that’s kind of depressing to write on the walls.

That made me laugh outloud!
I can see the picture on the wall now: beautiful children playing and then, oops, who put that cliff there? Finally the quote: “Who wants flowers when you’re dead? Nobody.”
Yeah, I can see why people favor Classic Pooh or ahem, Suess.
