content to stay at home.

For those of us with gyspy hearts

whose feet forever roam.

For those who hold their compass firm,

their path always in sight.

For those of us who’ve lost their way

and struggle in the night.

For those of us who have traveled far,

beyond the pale and more…

For those of us who miss you so,

you who have gone before.

No candle in the window

Can lead us all the way.

No lantern burns bright enough,

No matter what they say.

Those lights all diminish

With fuels that will run dry.

So what are we to do

When the season makes us cry?

The only light that's true enough

And safe from any vandal:

Is the love contained within us all

So our heart become the candle.

Peace.

best,

annie

""Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl. "..... I could do this all night..

Monkette and I found the almost EXACT duplicate of Ralphie's gift from Aunt Clara and are giving it gleefully to someone who deserves it. It doesn't have the hood w/ears BUT DOES feature the little footie rabbits....can't wait! I think the caroling waiters will be here at 4pm fra rah rah rah rah ri rah rah rah!

" The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey Hash! Turkey a la King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone, ALL GONE!" ..
