[Leica] Happy New year.

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Thank you Ali!

This list provides
so much pleasure,
learning
and interconnectedness.

I found some Iranian music
and now listen
as I wish you,
your family
and friends
a very happy New Year
as well.

Newrooz.
New day.
Unification.
All people;
regardless of race, religion;
in celebration.
Wonderful!

You've certainly made this day
very special for me.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
