This is for you Severn, who has entered our family, never to leave! You can't escape us now!!! (lol) And I'm sorry about upsetting you before.... against my forbidding tide you come & spread easy in my privacy. you lend me words of magic books of things I had dreamed but never read. you gave me sense when I wavered & refused to let my isolation be a barrier to your caring. still uneasy now with you, unused to such familiarity, such acknowledgement of pain, I sit beside you in a bowl of family warmth where your tree ornaments are as valuable & memorable as all of ours: beautiful brave Severn, come put your decorations among ours on the tree. It is our love that binds them to a unity. |

My darling friend. You don't know what this means. Christmas is a rather lonely time and this is so beautiful for me. Angela, it is not the small box of ornaments I keep from my childhood that represent christmas but the people who I love - and you and your family have become such. This tribute brought tears and smiles and told me I am truly welcome. And I am not that brave - I need people like you to give me strength!!! Thankyou, Sea. Kamla |

Connections of ornaments made of love I see betweeen you. Severn and Seaangel I wish I could give you both a real hug--so dear you are and so adroit with words. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |
