Happy New Year

To all family and friends, those who bless us with your presence and those who bless us with your thoughts. We thank you and wish you a New Year as full of life as you can bear.

Our trip to Cincy was full, as was expected . . . three more Christmas celebrations, a walk in Spring Grove, a Kenney family singalong, relatives not seen for a while, christmas carols in Kay's smoke filled nursing home, Lisa's installation: the involving result of many hours of thought, feeling, and well informed hands, many good meals, skyline, grammy's fireplace, sleeping on the third floor, large televisions displaying men with balls that bounce and fly, unseasonably warm weather including thunderstorms, old friends with new babes, the sense of having been there as we drive through familiar neighborhoods, colds, many welcoming arms for Gabby, tiring plane flights, expansive snow covered mountain tops upon return.






The clear bead at the center changes everything
There are no edges to my loving now.

I've heard it said there's a window that opens
from one mind to another,

but if there's no wall, there's no need
for fitting the window, or the latch.
