Christmas Lights, Carpinteria December 22, 2011

Its the first night of Hanuka and the Near Beach Hotel is all lit-up and cozy. Even the Orbs have come out to play.  

I imagine...with hope, and give thanks for the chiaroscuro of the moment.

The True Christmas Spirit December 18, 2011

Tis the season, spirit's tappin';

Try to witness miracles happen.

Mother Nature; when she calls,

Reveals to us orb-like balls.

Light the way for us to see;

The metaphor of a Christmas Tree. 

Deep and meaningful is it's light;

Guiding the hopeless through the night.

Relax, enjoy this time of year.

An attitude of gratitude, 

Will bring great cheer.
