Reflections on My Nephew's Birthday

 

 

 

In December 1982, on a visit home from Japan, I greeted my new nephew, Ryan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2012, I greeted his son. 

So quickly the generations slip by! (This is a good thing, evolution getting personal.)

My nephews and niece, and now my grandnephews and grandniece, re-affirm my faith in the rightness of it all. They give me hope for the future.


Witnessing the procession of life, I stand in awe and wonder, grateful to have been part of it.
