Another year gone by, time to wish you happy holidays and a happy new year 2015. Small donations have been made to Interpedia (as always), MLL, and WWF. There is no snow in Finland yet but many hope for a white Christmas, and perhaps it will come this weekend. Nonetheless, William Carlos Williams is once again the man to quote with Blizzard.

Snow:
years of anger following
hours that float idly down —
the blizzard
drifts its weight
deeper and deeper for three days
or sixty years, eh? Then
the sun! a clutter of
yellow and blue flakes —
Hairy looking trees stand out
in long alleys
over a wild solitude.
The man turns and there —
his solitary track stretched out
upon the world.

Season’s Greetings 2014
