happy christmas!
this poem by zimbabwean poet john eppel is a one of my favorites. & a good illustration of the ways the holidays are both magical & married to gritty realities. so but i wish for you & your family a very happy christmas. the world turns toward a new year, again. 2023 will soon be behind us. but really whatever numerical value we give to the year, it could be year 1 or we could call it year 4000, we live in a continuous present that we must make of it our own. i don't know what comes next but it will be strange, magical, horrible, lethal & life-giving. it will be imposed upon us as we make it up too. i wish you peace love & happiness. as nick lowe asked of us, what's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
& as the great jon 'bowzer' bauman of the early rock&roll revival group sha na na said, grease for peace!
