21 December







mellow is a pinecone
from a jack pine tree

tossed onto a tablecloth that my nana once used

illuminated by morning sunlight
blessing our season with its tiny grace

    My husband just brought me back about five pinecones when he took a hike recently. How special that you still have your nana's tablecloth. I loved your comment about all you want around your Christmas tree is your loved ones, as I am very close to my family too. It was my favorite comment of all.

    Merry Christmas.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

t Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” ~ If there is a lesson here for me it is to turn to the Lord.  I’ve always been a little mystified by this story. I mean if no one is doing the dishes things are going  to pile up pretty quickly. Maybe Martha is just bitter and doesn’t see or remember all the times that  Mary helped with the work. Or, maybe Mary really is kind of lazy and wants all of the Lord’s  attention. Maybe everything balances out in the end and truth can be a little tricky sometimes.  I’ve been thinking a lot about sisters lately since my own sister is facing another seemingly  insurmountable battle with cancer.  We all play certain roles within our families.
