It always helps to be reminded to remain in our daily practice and love ourselves and others as human beings even as we struggle through these times that are punctuated by the darkness and a cold that permeates to the bone. The wind is blowing here and the beautiful pink flamingos of my youth (San Diego Zoo) are standing sweetly in my head as i contemplate, work, kids, homework for school, and making a salad for my friends Christmas part. I am so glad i signed up at your sight. I love the word play and I grateful you are bringing it to the world in these times. Dear D,
