Presence
Presenceby Stephen LeakeAcross the dark, a robin learns the Winter.A candle dissolves; frank and sensuousAgainst the extending light.The streets remain illegible with snow.I travel through you; uncurlingWhere weather decorates the nightAnd naves of Christmas pinesGrasp human shadows.Alone I go, echoing carolsIn powdered places. Echoes that are glorified.Prolonged.Until I find you on the benchPressed with our pasts.A child again. Tricked and traced byMemory’s gift. Lasting. Imprinted.A proof of the year’s new world.Source: http://www.christmas-time.com/presence.htm – found on the Education for Justice website.
Certainly this was not taken in CA….or Christina will have to pull out her mittens!
Have a blessed Xmas
Love, Joye

Ahh, you might think so, Joye. But actually it was taken in California. In the Sierra Nevadas (that means snow-covered in Spanish). It was taken on a winter trip to Yosemite National Park. They measure snow fall in feet there, not inches. Like I’ve always said, in California we keep our snow in the mountains where it belongs. Hope you are enjoying some peace and quiet, some rest and relaxation, some fun and frivolity, and family and friends. Blessings of Christmas! Pat
