I just couldn't get it together in time this year. I couldn't put together my hand-made Christmas holiday cards in enough quantity in time for mailing. We sent out commercial cards to most people. But to five folks, those who I thought would most appreciate them, I was able to send cards I created. Most are astronomy folk. One is a wonderful Indian neighbor whose philosophy surely resonates with the thought expressed in the quotation I selected to serve as the greeting/message inside the card:

Dome with Pleiades

"The touch of an infinite mystery passes over the trivial and the familiar, making it break out into ineffable music... The trees, the stars, and the blue hills ache with a meaning which can never be uttered in words." -- Rabindranath Tagore

So to the many who did not receive this card from me, my apologies. My best wishes do go out to you for peace, and joy, and an ear to hear the music of the cosmos. -- JamesG
