Peace Like A River

It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Merry Christmas!

This is a season of celebrations in Russia, till Jan 14, as Christmas and New Years are celebrated.

I grew up in a two-flat in Chicago, with a Greek Orthodox family who lived upstairs from us. They also had a different calendar of celebrations than we did as Catholics, and usually celebrated Easter a week after we did.
