[Oe List ...] Christmas comes in the midst of our darkness and waiting.

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear Marshall,

We traditionally spend Christmas Eve with our dear friends and neighbors
here at Songaia Cohousing community.  We always do a round of poetry or
songs after dinner and this year I read your poem as my contribution.  It is
beautiful, thank you.

In community,

Nancy and Fred
