A big Happy 2005 to you all!  Here's a hopeful poem to start off the year.

A Prayer for the 21st Century by John Marsden
 

May the road be free for the journey
May it lead where it promised it would
May the stars that gave ancient bearings be seen, still be understood
May every aircraft fly safely
May every traveler be found,
May sailors in crossing the ocean not hear the cries of the drowned.

May gardens be wild, like jungles,
May nature never be tamed
May dangers create of us heroes,
May fears always have names.
May the mountains stand to remind us of what it means to be young
May we be outlived by our daughters
May we be outlived by our sons.
May the bombs rust away in the bunkers
And the doomsday clock not be rewound
May the solitary scientists, working, remember the holes in the ground.
May the knife remain in the holder,
May the bullets stay in the gun
May those who live in the shadows
Be seen by those in the sun.

Turkish Delight dangling at the Egyptian Market ~ Istanbul, Turkey 1996

This picture was taken in 1996 while I was traveling through Turkey.  I was so intrigued by the long strips of candy that dangled above the pistachio nuts & dried fruit at the Egyptian Market.  This weekend, while I was cleaning out & stringing together all the surplus of beads from last year, the long rows of beads reminded me of these strands of Turkish delight ~ hence the name of the new auction.  Over 200 beads, want to see?  Click on the picture to view.

I know I promised pictures of the Corb Lund house concert, but I'm having trouble with my new camera.  I'll try to have it figured out this weekend. 

By the way, I had such a wonderful birthday!  Thank you to everyone who celebrated with me & for all the wonderful birthday emails ~ you all rock!
