. . . And Merry Christmas!
Just let's be merry.
Let's take a leap of faith.
We're in this together - this life that is both more terrifying and wonderful than we could ever imagine. We can bask in our ordinary, human beauty.
Tonight's dominant story in our culture is one of a baby - the "light" of the world - being born in a stable, but I've been thinking more about Mary.
Maybe it's because I'm a mother myself, and I need to have frequent visitations by angels to remind me to "fear not". Maybe it's because she carried on and through in spite of life being overwhelming and stretching her farther than she ever thought she could extend without breaking.
Maybe it's because I saw The Hobbit this morning.
Bear with me.
Bilbo Baggins is everyman. Bilbo Baggins is Mary, he is ME. He wants things to remain simple, and safe: comfortable. But it is "adventure", that helps him to grow. Not only that, it is in helping others that he finds himself.
Wow.
I am merry, I am Mary, I am Bilbo Baggins.
By now you may have realized that Christmas makes me loopy. But I am goofy for all sorts of stories, especially ones that make me think and feel.
Now it is 12:09AM and Santa must be coming very, very soon.
Sweet dreams my angels, and . . .
Merry Christmas!

Lena, I got up this morning with a book idea I want you to write. I think you should write MADELEINE'S KITCHEN. Share meals, recipes, cooking experiences as the family meals always were so interesting to me in her books. She cooked,others cleaned up. What did she cook? Show us. Adriana Trigiani wrote a wonderful cookbook about her family...as intersting as her novels! Please consider this as I am waiting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea!
DeleteLena, I just wanted to tell you I loved this way of seeing Bilbo and his journey. What a great thought! And Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteTo the extent that the subject matter is concerned you have chosen a truly fine and hot topic.

Regardless, isn't that so? Other than this special case, ladies ought not be so liberal with their profits to somebody they scarcely know or who has no predictable roads to pay you back. It's OK to be infatuated, it's not OK to be in dumb. Cash Advance Chicago
