Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Ed and Shirley

Eve of Winter On this night, between the houses, the fresh snow crunching with the pebbles of salt spread on the walk, Jupiter rests in the elbow of the moon-- this one with no peer sits in the little one's arms, close to mother earth; and what seems like a chaos of change in all its phases now holds the unchanging one, the waiting word of hope that comes as surely as the sun sets, the seasons change, and a life is moved.
