2014 in review


The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,100 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 18 trips to carry that many people.

He Came


As the chickadee finds its nest,


among the prickly leaf…


The labored Mother sighs


as birthing finds relief…




Then nature joins a chorus,


among the star they sing…


Humanity realized His birth


of the Resurrection King…




He came among the world


in quiet winter’s rest…


Chickadee without notice


continues to make his nest…

CHRISTMAS TEA


Brown aroma filters through

the porcelain pot wrapped in

a  holiday Christmas print

Tea covey placed around,

Tied at the top with a green ribbon.

Pouring into the cup the sound

of generations past of many pourings,

expressed  within generations,

a knowing of shared time.

The warmth of the spiced tea

brings smiles caused by conversations,

of simpler  relationships in an eloquent

fluent exchange of Christmas gentilityChristmas Tea photo
