Seventh Holy Night 2007 ~ Reflection and Anticipation
In less than an hour...
2007 will be a year in the past...
I am grateful
for all the journeys I took this past year...
Inward journeys that brought me more here...
outward journeys that connected me with more of the world...
I am more at ease in being human than I ever thought possible...
I see all that happened this past year,
and await the unknown with anticipation of knowing that it will be a discovery,
and wonder where the days to unfold will take me...
I ask that my life get bigger
and at the same time,
more simple...
That open even more to the possibility of joy,
of contentment, and compassion...
I am grateful for all of you that I've met, some only in word, but for the ways you've expanded my world and helped me to see more of the beauty that is so easily found, if we but look...
The last few hours of 2007 were spent feasting with good friends this evening...
I keep attempting to recreate my Provence experience of Corey's French Husband's mussels... and tonight... I came close...
a little bubbly...
how I love French Champagne...
and a Turkish desert, Irmik Helvasi,
made by Emily to sweeten the end of the evening...
Thank you
for spending this year with me!
I look forward to the new year to come...

oh my goodness
that is the yummiest
of yummy
and my Boone so loves
mussels...
once...
30 some years ago
we collected mussels
along the coast of
Cote d'Ivoire
and cooked them up
in a very large cauldron
and washed them down
with Liebfraumilch
... savoring this memory
reflecting - anticipating...
Happy New Year dear Lea!
