My daughter's name is Maya. I've been told that the word maya means illusion in Hindu philosophy. As I watch her growing up, spinning like a top around me, I realize that her childhood is not something I can grasp but rather - like the wind - something I feel tenderly brushing across my cheek. "Sachs suspends in time a single moment of her daughter." Fred Camper, Chicago Reader

My daughter's name is Maya, which means illusion in Hindu philosophy. Watching her grow and spin around me like a top, I see that her childhood is fleeting and something I cannot fully grasp.
