A few years ago, I wrote a children’s imaginary tale about a fox and how the birth of Christ changed him. I meant to illustrate the story and bind it into two small books: one for my grandchildren and one for the grandchildren of a dear friend. Somehow, even though I finished it, it was […]

Raintrees and mysteries are swirling through my mind this morning. Would you believe I’m on my third cup of Folgers already and the sun hasn’t even gotten up?
