    The last photo is perfect for this Valentine's Day. It's just delightful. I hope all's well in your world, and that your family is thriving. It's always nice to see a post from you. I'd wish for more, but there's no doubt you're one busy woman! Happy spring -- soon, soon.

      Thank you, Linda. That last photo is of my son and his cousin. Valentine's Day is for love in all its varieties, isn't it? And yes: busy woman! I'm trying to tie up a hundred loose ends before this new baby arrives in April, while also remaining present and appreciative of these last months before what will undoubtedly be a startling yet sweet change. Best to you. More soon (eventually, anyway).

    "Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it."

    We miss you and your warm, insightful words.

    ~ Richard

      Thank you, Sir Richard. Mary Oliver is always a favorite. I bring her with me--as well as the wise words of many others--whenever I can.

      Hope you've had and continue to have a kind winter. Spring is on its way.

Sliding Doors: One Last Glance Toward Europe

We entered the Tube around 9:00 in the morning, a mass of noisy students and a few adults, taking up a section of platform. We had told the teens: "We'll start you on your journey, but you'll have to find your way back. Pay attention." The anxious ones stayed near us, the eager ones studied the green and red and blue and yellow lines on the wall map. "We'll need the Circle Line," one said, and after nodding, we passed the phrase among us like bread, or sweets, so when the train arrived, and the sliding doors opened, we all walked through them with enough nourishment and energy to know where we were going . Later, we stepped out of trams into the high Swiss landscape at Pfingstegg Station. After London, most of the kids didn't even look at the trail map. They just started up. One foot in front of the other, one sore-muscled groan after the other, a collection of revelations. We walked under rock ledges and over small streams.  We talked abo...
