It will be a permanent word of doom for me in the Big Spelling Bee in the Sky. People up there will be spelling their facetious, and xebec, and okey-dokey with the hyphen, and Tchaikovsky and all kinds of words and then Saint Peter will look at me and will say, "OK. Theresa. Spell 'chrysalis.'" And I'll get the worst case of performance anxiety of my life, and I'll say, "May I ask Bill, please?"

It was "make it new, make it new. make it new. And the title was "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" By Sammy Cahn Imagine a musical ignoramus like me telling a music teacher! In LA, it was the hottest summer on record, and to escape the heat, Sammy suggested a trip to the beach. Jule's fateful reply was, "Why don't we stay here and write a winter song?" The lyricist sat down at his typewriter, thought for a moment about the weather, and typed "Oh! The weather outside is frightful." "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" became one of the most popular seasonal songs ever composed.

I awoke this morning to new fallen snow. I missed the first flakes, so deep in sleep was I. This is not nascent snow, but renascent--it evokes old images couched in the newness that lies out there in the grove and will cause the birth of so many thoughts, inchoate now in the early morning, but this nativity will be an unfolding of astonishing vision today. They say that we first learn how to turn the mind into fresh perspective when we are taken in the arms of our fathers and turned upside down. To inspiration! And inhalation! And all that causes us to awaken in the fall of the season's first snow!

I don't think he knew much about what every young mother should know. Or middle aged mothers either. I'm not even sure how to tell a moth from a butterfly. Metamothesis is not my line. Morph me merry, New Year! Youth in Asia may be at hand.
