The snowbow, or How I met Father Christmas


Dear Readers,

My next novel is starting to take on the trappings of life: a cover design, a back cover blurb. I look forward to sharing it with you in 2012!

Meanwhile, there's a little story for you here.

Thanks, as always, for reading and for your support throughout the year.

A Franciscan Benediction

May God bless you with discomfort: at easy answers, at half-truths, and superficial relationships; so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger: at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed: for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
Amen.
