Station
Her eyes grow cloudy
soon there will be rain
her thoughts steal past
like slow, noisy trains
No, that's really not me
No reason it would be--
Her heart mourns parting
mine's torn from certainty

Umm Om
Made it to an early yoga class in the socks PJ gave me in Philly when we organized the SALA conference two years ago.
I'm not there yet, but... my. socks. were. a. hit.

Small Merry
The child-pleasing disparity between tree height and assembled presents is unintentional. But I had a lot of fun putting together themed gift bags--a patronus bag (puppies for Nu, sloths for At); a re-construction (ha!) kit (W.E.B. DuBois, Chernow's Grant, a bio of Robert Smalls); a happiness and wellness set (Lin Manuel's Good Morning Good Night, a treat-yourself journal, and some feel-good plaques); stocking stuffers were Imagination Library donations, Salus Center donations, and refugee school donations.
In other news, this wasn't the best Christmas ever (despite Nu's ardent protestations)--like we've not even been able to take a family picture for the holiday card yet.
But we did our best: we ate well; we hung out and cuddled; we went to L&T's party in our PJs, one set of grandparents arrive tomorrow, and we can try again next year.
Onward!
