And so, another year spins us all the way back around to celebrating the inimitable Ayla Canin. She's the flicker of a mischievous smile, a tireless heart, a rest, a respite, a joy.
We are all richer and fuller and better fed and infinitely happier for having known her.
Here's an absolutely iconic collection of her being unthinkably beautiful!
And - at the bottom of this page -
a collection of loving words from your favorite rogues' gallery of loved ones (and a song about you).
I love you :)
"i can't begin to see you/ oh, crack me open/ I'll pour out
I can't begin to see you/ it was always nothing/ and then, you."
