i have these terrific memories as a child, laying in the fields of barra de tijuca. sun blazing overhead keeping us warm. the sweet smell of ripening guava in the trees tickling our noses. the sounds of sugar cane stalks gently clanking together in the breeze, nature's wind chimes. as we lay bellies to the ground, giggling and telling tales, we searched. always wanting to find our fortuna in fields of clovers. convinced that one of us would indeed find the mythical 4 leaf clover. so much happiness and joy happened during those lazy hours. innocence bellowing. even though we never found one, luck was with us already. what i would give to be able to be that innocent again. to find so much joy in doing something so mundane, even though we knew the odds were against us in finding that clover. i want those moments back. some days, i would do anything to be a kid again. free of responsibility. not having to be "adult" about things. so on days like today, where fortuna is nowhere to be found, looking at the following photographs brings me back to that time, where luck was always with me.
xoxo.
