Christmas 2021

 Christmas 2021


Dear Friends and Family,

We are sending you our Christmas greetings from Ann Arbor, MI, USA with a video e-card, which we posted on YouTube, here, and below. The text and photo also appear below. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday,

Ed & Shirley


Child at the keyboard



The child does not ask
if this is on the page
or if the notes are expected ones;
kneeling on the piano bench
they just play
using the keys as if they were percussion,
singing aloud
a joyful shout
that has us running for our phones
to record the event
for those afar;
The little delightful surprises
awaken our imagination
breaking into the "what has been"
with what is new,
what requires a pause,
our breath catching,
a broad smile
as we gaze
through the viewfinder,
a cry in our wilderness,
the push to write this down
and tell the story.
