This year, I could not either get my holiday greetings out in a timely fashion or decide on one message to adorn those greetings.
So, in honor of the Three Kings Day, instead of a rosca with a baby hidden inside, I share with you all the greetings I sent out (or will send out soon!) with photos from walks on the beach in SoCal. [I am sure that some of these have already graced the Poetry Thursday page. Forgive the repeats, I am sure they are worth it.] Some of them were chosen especially for the recipient; others went out to many people. Please choose the one that feels just right and tuck it into your wallet or pocket or place on your nightstand ... or read it and forget about it.
Your choice!
In every winter's heart lies a quivering spring, and behind the veil of each night waits a smiling dawn.

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
― T.S. Eliot
Let us go to the coast under the cover of night and catch a boat that will take us across the oceans, where we can find a new life full of happiness and understanding. Do not hesitate… ~Kahlil Gibran, The Broken Wings
There comes a holy
and transparent time
when every touch
of beauty
opens the heart
to tears!
This is the time
the Beloved of heaven
is brought tenderly on earth.
~Rumi
