I wish you a good year. Today was a hibernation day for us, and last night we connected by phone with old friends, who stood in the woods looking at the moon. I am weary, grateful, and glad. Much is beyond me. Here is a book I hope to read in 2012, with many others. Reading is good. Books are good. I still like to hold them in my hand and turn the pages. I love books. In a way, they are the humans beyond us.

About Me
- Kathleen
- "You must change your life," said Rilke. So that's what I keep doing. I've been an encyclopedia editor, a poetry editor, an actor and director, a library clerk, and an assistant professor of English. Now I'm a freelancer, work part time in a library, blog "eight days a week," study the random, tend perennials, and listen to birdsong.

Lovely sentiment about books, Kathleen. Happy 2012!
Thank you, Sandy, and a good one to you, too.
I think we're in the same phase of hibernation, Kathleen. Happy New Year!
And to you, Seana! Sleep deep!
Hibernation does the soul good. Enjoy it while you can.
Happy New Year, Kathleen--wishing you a 2012 full of good books to read. :)
Thank you, Jayne, and you, too.
Happy restful and rejuvenating new year, Kathleen!
Thank you for the heads up about "The Animals Beyond Us". I clicked over to the link and enjoyed the poem excerpt there. The title is intriguing. I like your twist on the title as applicable to books. Interesting concept to think through.
Best wishes and here's to restorative sleep!
hey kathleen! happy new year - i look forward to reading along with you.
Thanks, dears! Am rested, and now the new year begins in earnest, me awake in it.
