Family Ride by Angela Mia De la Vega

As these early pioneer children make
their slow journey across plains and
through fields, a nurturing big sister
protectively secures both her little
brother and the reigns of their tired
and faithful horse. In her young eyes,
we see poise and mature
perseverance: dreamy smiles reflect
in the tender eyes of her brother.

In a world of fast travel and too many
conveniences, "Family Ride" expresses
a gentle slowing of pace and a patient
acceptance and understanding of the
beauty of waiting.
