imminently quotable, as is Henri Nouen (sp? I can't pronounce his name, either).
Blessings on you, lovely lady
Yes - it's sort of like driving by and watching all the Christmas tree lots packed up and gone and everyone sort of goes back to their lives before hand.
It's sort of sad that we can't be like that all year round - but maybe if we start with ourselves we can start to make a change.
Hi Roberta!
The Christmas tree and decorations can move out quickly, just like
the circus trappings. The spirit doesn't need to. It'd be boring to
have the circus always around, and the vacant lot or field where it
sets up would get pretty yucky. But if you love the circus, you
remember all year how great it was and you anticipate its return.
Same for Christmas! Plus which, sometimes that tree hangs on a while...

A reader from the Middle East left a comment yesterday that i could not decipher. Perhaps you could try to send it again?
