in our lifetime

hell feeezes over only to find many waters cannot quench love

This photo of Val and Tony taken shortly before their wedding, was on the camera's memory card when I downloaded the first of the geese pictures, so I claim it as mine! I intended to transfer a very small image and have it floating under the ice when I did an early "black and white" ice assignment, but got this close-up composition. Being at a loss for words, I quickly typed in two cliches, only to discover they contained the requisite 17 syllables for the Ginsberg Sentence part of the assignment. (Some things just go together!)

On this last day of 2006, I would like to celebrate the blessings of all couples who found love that endured to the end of this year. The miracle of love actually is a miracle of life, as I have been very aware this holiday season, experiencing the empty spaces of lost love in my life. Enjoy what you have, treasure it, the durability is as important as the magic!
And may the blessings of love capture us anew in 2007!
