To all my dear friends here
A very Merry Christmas!
The River and the Sea
"The river is within us, the sea is all about us . . ."
— T S Eliot (Four Quartets)
How does the river run within the sea?
Like the coyote, bounding deer-like
in the soy bean field last evening,
and behind him the honeyed sun
a young girl’s hair, cascading among
the trees. He distanced gradually
from the road we cycled, his body
now disappearing beneath
the shrubby, wavy green, now
reappearing in the bob and bounce
of a cork retreating from shore. Like
a dream. Like a secret stone that leaps
as the sun sets, an opal, a tiger’s eye,
to the horizon, until he and the sun are one.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

I love Rosemary Clooney - and her nephew ain't so bad either ;-) I'm pretty sure she was the star when I saw "No No Nanette" many many years ago in San Francisco. She sings like a bird. Speaking of birds, great shot of the cardinal.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Susan!
Merry Christmas Susan!
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!! Enjoy yourself my friend!!
Susan,
I love the red cardinals and they show up so beautifully in the snow. They are our state bird.
Merry Christmas!
