Circle of Life

This fairytale is about the circle of life. My three daughters where quite sure the little baby is a portrait of Moses, and since my pot caught fire on the stove, the same day the baby emerged on the picture, - (Moses got a burning bush, I got a burning pot), they may have been on to something :) But truth be told, its about the creating of life, symbolised by the two dragonflies in the corner, and the baby sleeping gently on the majestic peacock feathers, the tote is a symbol from a danish fairy tale who wants to spoil the situation. As for all fairy tales the symbolisms are up for individual interpretation.
