I am still following the current happenings in very Iran closely and am wondering if we are nearing a resolution that may bring about great change. I never thought clothes and hair and makeup could be so political but the women of Iran have taught me differently. I send prayers to all the people there and wish them much strength and sustenance for the coming days.
Meanwhile, ‘tis the season of snow and snow globes are little contraptions that bottle the illusion of this white powder so that with the shake of the wrist, you can conjure up its magic any time. It’s no wonder we like them so much!
In this month’s excerpt from my memoirs, I try just such a trick to remind myself of the magic of childhood with a snow globe that stood in a corner of my room after traveling thousands of miles, over oceans and seas to decorate a corner of my mind.
