Three visits later... and I am filled with gratitude. To the three families that are sharing these last months with me. We are singing, talking, and reading together.

Now I have purchased a book of rather sappy, short Christmas stories to read at bedsides. (All my families are Catholic.) Those stories will begin next week... at Thanksgiving time.

And I ahve learned a new song to share:

The Turtle Remembers.

"The turtle remembers
A dream in December
Alone with God.

Alone with the songs,
of the whales
Returning, returning."

I so love that song! Could sing it all day.

Peace,

Amma
