The photo below was sent via email today by my sister on behalf of my nephews, Lincoln and McCann, whose entrance into this world I eagerly await. I stared at it through watery eyes, arose from my desk, poured myself a glass of wine and toasted to all of my best good things: siblings, parents, nephews, nieces, true friends, and a few good words.
The beauty of a few good words is that they have the sovereignty to negate all offensive predecessors; to make the beneficiary cast off the adverse force of caustic declamations that came before; to remind us of what is real and pure and worth it in this world; to extend to us the strength and resiliency to dismiss those things that compromise our best good things.
Here is a look at one of my best good things to come:
LINKIE HANGIN' OUT IN HIS MOMMA'S BELLY
Isn't he the cutest? I asked my sis if I she'd mind if I just crawl in there and cuddle the crap outta him till he is ripe and ready to greet the world. I don't think she was so crazy about the proposal...
Little Macdoe is in there somewhere too - it seems he's still a bit camera shy.
Thanks, Linkie and Mac, for sending me a few good words. You are a beautiful reminder of all that is real and pure and worth it in this world.
