christmas eve

as the day reaches its middle
i rest in wonder
 a small river
not yet iced up, it's so warm
 calves enjoying good eating 
and naptime
this patient old man
who waits high in his pasture each day
for what?
~~~
wishing you peace
peace.

  5. christmas eve was raging thunderstorms - christmas day is still and quiet - the kiddies have risen and delighted in santas offerings (EJ told me she saw the reindeers outside her window - they snorted and woke her up....) both kidlets are now hunkered down over lego right now..... all is good with the world - hope some of those sweet vibes make it in this message xxxx

  7. think the old man might be looking down the little river that seem to have no end - maybe wondering how long it would take to walk to no end? the markings on him - forehead almost look like a little star - so he is the little christmas miracle that guided you through the woods...warmth to all and a special treat for wendy.

    I'm reminded of this quote ...

  17. mo c, thank you
    nancy, i tried to scratch him, but he was a bit shy, which leads me to think he gets little attention.
