My 2010 Christmas/Holiday Wish

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with my 2010 Christmas/Holiday Wish and this video of my cousin Ciba and our friend Janey Age (Jana Hurdesova) singing a Czech Christmas carol written by Mirek Fisar (the father of another friend, Czech singer Radka Fisarova).  The video was dedicated to my father who had requested that Ciba and Jana sing the song his friend had written.

2010 Christmas/Holiday Wish

 

May this season

Of joy open all

hearts to peace, love

 

To see beyond

rampant greed, lust

inhumanity

 

To celebrate

instead our

commonality

 

And to cherish

diversity in

all humanity

Sky Sketches

 

Golden streaked

Blood red stream

Above shades

Of gray clouds

Topped with blue

Attitude

Views from a Plane - Cloud Streams

Video taken and poem written on my flight home from Seattle:

Cloud Streams


Clouds flow around

Roll over and

 

Surround the plane

As streams of mist

Streak through grayed sky
