Wise words from that 8-year-old.

Some words of wisdom, from a much better writer than I am, to carry with you this year,

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

Neil Gaiman

Thank you, Judi.

I like the St. Francis quote. Reminds me of Thurman’s The Work of Christmas.

Ooo...yes. That’ll do, too.

Thank you for the gentle Francis grace. Not sure this will work, but here’s a public link to a photo I took a few days ago in Santa Fe (Francis is the patron saint of that oldest U.S. state capital.) It’s a picture of a statue near the central plaza, and the saint is conversing with a “Christmas” prairie dog. I think Francis would have liked prairie dogs as much as I do. https://photos.app.goo.gl/jFXFNmEo6eZZcLH67
