NEW YEAR'S PILGRIM








Now I'm going down to that river of Jordan
Just to bathe my weary soul
If I can just touch  the hem of His garment, good Lord
Then I know You'll take me home

Funny, up all night as usual, but with Rose and Claude (doing his Jackson Pollock paper-scattering-arranging thing) for company (Pansy also – opening closed cabinets and tilting pictures on the wall), and believing that Jane’s having a blast with Rachel and her other friends, things Augur well.  Healthy, wealthy and wise (a phrase with partial Philadelphia roots) sounds like a reasonable plan and priority order.  Wisdom is difficult to achieve or obtain.  Happy New Year !!  !!
