They are easier to detect after the fact. They are uncanny encounters, brushes with the supernatural, where the presence of the Lover accompanies us in a very real way, sheltering, directing, loving, moving, giving life to our everyday existence. You can't totally explain the experience, but you leave shaken to the very depths, knowing that you have been kissed by the Divine.

Bon voyage
Some of my favorite people on this globe we call home left the snowy north today for tropical sunshine and family faces. Mom, Jenn, John and Imogen took advantage of a ridiculously good seat sale so that they could go visit my grandma, aunt, uncles and cousins in Jamaica. I don't know who all they will get to see, but this is to say- hope the trip is good, that the visit is enriching to all, that the family gets to bask in the delight of our newest family member- Imogen and that they will get a good 4 generations women picture. Hello to our Jamaican family- we send our love and greetings through them.
We are enjoying a brief visit from our Houstonite Nana presently. She has been playing games and juggling them in her arms as they watch Franklin videos, read stories and talk up a storm. Here is a clip that clearly details one of Dominique's fascinations. I guess she is entering the stage where it's getting harder to catch her on camera. She's constantly running around to look from the other side.

I got a phone call about 5 pm from Ruth to say that they had arrived safely in Jamaica and were relaxing at Mt. Carey.
Dominique is just too cute!
