"christmas is a necessity.

there has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that

we're here for something else besides ourselves."

Sevareid, E. (1912-1992)

a man who understands the Tao in the morning may die with content in the evening.

[ Taking the Hands ]

Taking the hands of someone you love,
You see that are delicate cages…
Tiny birds are singing
In the secluded prairies
And in the deep valleys of the hand.

Bly, R., From Silence in the Snowy Fields: Poems, 1962
