Feet On The Path
Through the door, I watched our little female possum, Noelle, as she ate her supper tonight. Her pouch hung quite low, touching the tips of the wet grass. I remarked on this and my wife said with large eyes, “We can’t have a bunch of baby possums running around here!”
And I responded, “Well, why not?”
Tomorrow I am leaving to go on a holy pilgrimage, one that I have been contemplating for quite some time. I haven’t decided yet, but I may write about it when I return.
The night is heavy now, and so are my eyes, and so is my heart.
And the darkness always passes…

You’re making my wife very jealous. She absolutely loves possums, and Taiwan sadly has little to offer a possum-lover.

William, I didn’t realize that Taiwan had no possums. The authorities would likely frown on me shipping you some as a gift….
I was in Taiwan in 1983. Loved it…I have happy memories of exploring the region.
