Rise up singing

Quote of the day:

Now let the music keep our spirits high 
And let the buildings keep our children dry 
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by 
By and by– 
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky

Jackson Browne's, Before the Deluge 

Remembering Kris Kringle …

Because it is that time of the year, and also because I am still, each Christmas season, drinking from the same Kris Kringle mug …

And, therefore, remembering old friends.

Ada looks at me while I write. I stroke her little, furry head and she purrs softly. Dawn has not yet broken.
