St. Alice in Her Laboratory
December 20, 2012
The photograph of Alice and k.d. lang, enlarged and framed, now sits on Alice’s desk. A few staff members have seen it and have spread the word to other residents and staff alike. Several people now want to touch the hand of the woman who touched k.d. lang. Her apartment may turn into the Lourdes of The Place.
Meanwhile, Christmas cards and presents are coming in.
As the Hen Steps
December 22, 2011
Every December, my father used to take me to the window on the night of the Winter Solstice and deliver this folksy saying: “Now every day will be a hen step longer than the day before.”
I liked the image of the hen, leading us forward into the light.
Follow me!
