I wrote a story about love shared through the generations of a family:
Christmas at the farm, three siblings and a cousin, the kid’s table. So many people, we were relegated to a small bedroom adjacent to the living room. I still have that doll.

I sit at my window and the words fly past me like birds - with God's help I catch some.

If I were looking for a poem to help get me through the day, it would be for a poem about where kindness comes from.

Stopping at the sight of this mixing bowl sitting on a barrel by the door of an antique shop. The second largest of the Pyrex mixing bowls that many of my generation came to know our colours. Yellow #green red blue.

Another photo that travelled across the ocean with my Swiss grandparents in 1929. The traditional male dress of the people of the Caucasus symbolizes their fight for freedom.
