A writing tablet for my thoughts
27 Nov
Fearlessly poised, eagle eyes magnetically
Fasten mine to yours;
In a homemade gill net I am caught in your grey sea depths-
Wise as dolphins, youth vibrantly pours forth,
Soundless waves echo, bounce and gyrate off ocean floor
Ping-ponging their way along a pinball trail-
As your spirit dives into empty air.
Your lithe body paints a freestyle dive on an empty air molecule canvas-
Each skin cell sheds cleanly, recording your energetic pulls at air strands.
I catch you
A smile lurks and quirks.
Again my eyes are fastened to your intense ones
And find that it is
Myself
who is captive to
your eagle eyes

Jasper is finally weaned onto regular milk. Both he and mom survived along with a few tears and help from Jasper’s Dad!
Now, he is a regular milk and bread man, just like Granpa Pranis.
Lately he has enjoyed exploring the world of food as he painted himself in cereal.

Greetings family and friends from Roma! John and I have had a fantastic time in this ancient and yet thriving city.
We have just finished early Christmas shopping, but our travels have included a great work out in the hike to Mt. Vesuvius, comparing ancient Pompeii with current Rome and even the US.
Talking and connecting not only to each other in a special way as we daily fall more in love but also with other workshop participants who were also here to learn more about Rome and the bible.
The food is incredible and to be sorely missed as we return . . .and Laryssa is excited though to start her life with her wonderful husband. She feels especially inspired by John and her time in Rome to be serious about her love of writing . . . be on the look out to be guinea pigs of her forthcoming adventures and scribbles . . .
love to you all and Thanks for making our Wedding Day and our relationship so wonderful . . .See you soon Omaha,
Love, Laryssa
