600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 1,900 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 3 years to get that many views.
I heard of the flour shortage in Syria
With bread lines six to eight hours long
As I brushed the leftover flour from baking Christmas breads
In to the sink disposal.
Our first Christmas tree – Reno, Nevada – Monday, 17 December 2012
Branches hold such joy,
Each one telling her story
Of love unbounded.
Oh, angels of mercy and of love, be with us as we grieve and tremble in the terror of darkness. Cast your light our way, lead us in to Love and understanding and forgiveness. Give us a sense of your peace, let us see your long view, let us feel the comfort of your arms around us. In the name of Love we pray.
December sixth brings
Hot coffee left at the door
And love and kisses.
Humboldt Street apartment – Tuesday, 4 December 2012
Smells fill the kitchen –
Garlic and onions and beef –
Joy to cook for two.
Midtown Reno, Nevada – Monday, 3 December 2012
Late Autumn’s cold wind
Whips around December’s edge
And Christmas shoppers.
Crisp December first,
Soul having flown suddenly
From the still badger.
