12/24/19 RMB Christmas Eve Shadow
Dear Rita Mae Brown,
On this Christmas Eve our sunny California
skies are shuffling clouds, dropping buckets of rain, and there is a cold chill
in the air. Our mountains have snow and Teddy’s bird baths in the high desert
freeze overnight. Her feathered friends wait patiently for the sun to melt their
morning drink. Winter is upon us.
Somewhere over the skies of Delaware
this evening a little cat named Shadow has crossed over to the other side and is
in heaven now. Life was a struggle for this little gal, but she had a good life
with someone looking after her. Shadow’s spirit will live on in the heart of my
friend Moe.
That’s our best hope isn’t it, to have
someone who holds your spirit in their heart. Christmas Eve calls those to mind
that we hold dear, near and far, from companions in our daily lives to those of
our youth, our families, our circles. We exchange good will, share stories, relive
memories and make more.
Tonight, on this Christmas Eve, I’m
sending my best out to you, to Shadow in Heaven, to my circle and to our
future, may it be full of good cheer!
Merry Christmas,
Loraine
