Let's just sit and stare out at the sunshine for a while,
Shall we?

The holidays are supposed to be times to connect,
but they often lead us to think about the disconnections
in our lives.
These are times when we travel far distances,
sometimes looking for things that can never be found again.
But we hope.
We make plans, and we look forward.
We WILL be home for Christmas.
Next year in Jerusalem.
We will make it home to the countryside
for Lunar New Year.
But wanna know a secret?
There is in each of us
a hearth
a heart
and we share it
with all the HEART
everywhere.
What we seek is
really within.
Everyone
from age one
to ninety two
feels the same sparkle-
It's new and shiny in young eyes,
a smoldering glow
in the heart of age.
During the holidays
we rush about
becoming dizzy like children
who spin,
mouths open,
catching snow flakes.
Snow flakes blizzard-ing like blog posts
like bloggers:
All the same
yet each one truly unique!

Your "silly" song is the first Christmas song of the season I actually listened to. Bing is my hero. :)
PS - I love that analogy about bloggers being like snowflakes, "all the same yet truly unique." What a wonderful thought at one of the most wonderful times of the year. Happy Thanksgiving, Chica!!
Hope your Thanksgiving is what you hope for!
