Can we just hold hands,
stop the world
and just hold hands?
Yours in mine.
Hers in hers.
His in theirs.
Fingers intwined
bridge across
to touch.

Holiday blessings to you and yours.

Brad,
It is a simple gesture that can be taken even between people that have only just met to make a circle of peace. Love is always a choice. I appreciate your voice for peace in the world. Enjoy the beauty of this holiday whatever you choose to celebrate.
