new thinking

he said, "when the trout are sipping insects...."
and i just s.t.o.p.p.e.d. listening.

sipping insects.
sipping insects. 
sipping snowflakes.

today, yesterday, and the yesterday before, in fact
i have been sipping snowflakes.

the turning of the year
is thankfully all about
sipping snowflakes.
may your new year be 
a surprise, a joy, a sorrow, 
solid and true,
a mystery, a home,
a journey.
with love,
velma. 
who is,
as stated previously,
sipping snowflakes

    Love your choices for wishes for the new year and I couldn't help but sing 'Sipping Cider', the old camp song in my head while reading this!!
    Happy New year of sipping!

    It would be great to sip a few snowflakes over here. Here's to sipping snow flakes over there.

    you are sipping snowflakes and we are putting out fires. What a world. Certainly like the idea of sipping snowflakes and all those things you wised us for the New Year. Thanks Velma.

    susan, those fires again. sigh. sipping snowflakes is something essential, a rebellion, in fact, eating snow is something i try to do.
