to have a profound meaning.
It doesn't have to 'say' a word.
We fall in love for simpler reasons.

This statue was a gift from my mom earlier this year during spring season. She had it for a few years and had purchased it on a visit to North Carolina to visit favorite relatives, my Aunt Elaine and Uncle Jim, both now deceased a little over five years ago. Aunt 'Laine was a profound influence on my early interests in art and was an artist in her own right.
Early this spring, I had cleared a small spot by the Victorian playhouse for the Flower Girl With Her Ankles Crossed, planted some purple johnny-jump-ups, and there she rests, nestled among the shrubs, quietly watching over my five-year-old daughter active at play. They both cross their ankles in the very same manner.
Three generations of active, independent, assertive, loving women influencing my life. A nice reminder for the memories.
