I&#8217;m ever fascinated by how sisters interact, how they can be at once the closest of pals, and the next second embroiled in a battle over something seemingly so trivial that they won&#8217;t even remember it tomorrow. Perhaps it&#8217;s the biological hard-wiring to perceive our sisters as competition for resources&#8211;or mates. In my family, there are just my sister &amp; me, separated by almost six years. My own daughters are 23 months apart. And these gorgeous girls are Kiana (8.5) &amp; Quin (6.5), daughters of Lilavati, a mom who exudes both power &amp; gentleness in equal parts. In just the little time I spent with Kiana &amp; Quin, I could see how amazingly different siblings can be&#8211;&amp; observe the ever shifting dynamic of love &amp; mischief between them! I had such a great time just watching them be with each other, near each other&#8211;&amp; then see them through the lens on their own, each with her special essence. Like when a chef puts two distinctly unique flavors together in an unpredictable combination&#8211;the pairing creates something special &amp; rare &amp; delicious. And this day was full of the hot sun, shining down on these two radiant creatures. They seemed to glow with the magic &amp; contradictions of girlhood&#8211;at once of nature &amp; this world, yet also ethereal..<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
