December

December looks a bit different around here.

It’s chilly enough to drink hot sahlab, but roses, strawberries, and green, green grass are flourishing. Dates are on the palms; other trees have lost their leaves.

I see a little to remind me of Christmas; a lot to remind me of Jesus’ birth —

whenever I keep a quiet heart.

(And that’s no different from when I’m at home).
