Mercy's 1st Birthday






Well, in retrospect, I should have been blogging like mad over the last four months because of all of the things that have happened; Praises to God for a clean bill of health for my father-in-law after a cancer scare that led us to Oregon for about six weeks, a move to a new apartment and the ever-present search for work in Atlanta. However, since I just summarized the last quarter of a year in a sentence, I will move on to the present joy in my life: Mercy turned one! I am excited to share pictures and video of her first birthday. Here is a summary in photos of our trip to the zoo and her little party with our Bell/Eggleston family here in Atlanta. Enjoy!

"What Great Grief Has Made the Empress Mute" June Jordon - Poetess

Because it was raining outside the palace
Because there was no rain in her vicinity

Because people kept asking her questions
Because nobody ever asked her anything

Because marriage robbed her of her mother
Because she lost her daughters to the same tradition

Because her son laughed when she opened her mouth
Because he never delighted in anything she said

Because romance carried the rose inside of a fist
Because she hungered for the fragrance of the rose

Because the jewels of her life did not belong to her
Because the glow of gold and silk disguised her soul

Because nothing she could say could change the melted music of her space
Because the privilege of her misery was something she could not disgrace

Because no one could imagine reasons for her grief
Because her grief required no imagination

Because it was raining outside the palace
Because there was no rain in her vicinity
