Away……….
🎅
That time of year again….
I shall be away….for the next few weeks. Off to Germany – Tuesday – to spend Christmas and New Year with daughter and the family. I’m unlikely to be around here…on the blog much. I might…just might pop in from time to time to keep in touch.
May you all have a Blessed Festive Season! Whatever you do..or do not do….Have Peace and Goodwill in your hearts! Be Generous…and Be Blest!
See you in the New Year which, I pray, will bring you much joy!
Take Care!
🎉🎉🎉
To All My Friends…..
As many of you may have noticed, I have not been as active/present around here for some weeks – going back to late September.
ALL IS WELL!
I have been otherwise occupied…not least with visiting daughter in Germany…and writing.
We are soon off on an extended holiday in South Africa….until after New Year.
Will be revisiting the much loved Garden Route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and back….
Since there is never a guarantee of getting ‘online’ I am unlikely to be very active here or elsewhere;
Moreover, if/when I comment on any posts, reactions will be notified and my E-mail box is likely to be flooded.
So, I might well be ‘reading’ posts and ‘reacting’ to them but will refrain from posting comments..or posting anything on my blogs.
Deo Volente, departure is scheduled for end of month….return early January.
May I now wish you all, Festive Season Blessings…and Good Wishes for 2017!!!
Be thinking of you…
God Bless!
Confounded….

Natural Balance?
Janus into distance stares,
Frowns upon his foreheads bears,
Wonder in the Future sees,
Sadness in the Past he grieves,
Good in heart believes.
Weather gods their counsel keep,
Humankind with doubt to steep,
Snow in Summer, Winter Mild,
Calm in Autumn, Springtime Wild,
Weathermen beguiled!
Cautiously they tread the street,
Wary of Midsummer sleet,
Youngsters on their sleds have fun,
In the absence of the Sun,
Rather walk than run!
Woollies in the Sun do well,
Icy winds sting, children yell,
Juno can no comfort bring,
Biting breezes dirges sing,
No bird on the wing!
Adaptation be the rule,
For the Wise but not the Fool,
To survive in Nature’s Book,
Comfort zones must be forsook,
To ourselves we look!

Epiphany!!!

Eloquent Gifts…
Gold, Frankincense, Myrhh,
Three Gifts of Eastern Strangers,
Monarch, Godhead, Death!
