Our hats are off today to celebrate someone whose art and wisdom has inspired us (and so many others!)  Let's take a moment to enjoy one of Dr. Seuss' "secret arts" and, in my humble opinion, one of his most important & beautiful msgs:

     A Prayer for a Child
          From here on earth,
          From my small place
          I ask of You
          Way out in space:
          Please tell all men
          In every land
          What You and I
          Both understand . . .

          Please tell all men
          That Peace is Good.
          That’s all
          That need be understood
          In every world
          In Your great sky.

          (We understand.
          Both You and I.)

_ To all our friends and puppets around the world, so many heartfelt thanks -- in the quest to make our planet a healthier, happier place, every single person really does make a difference!
      Cheers to a bright and healthy 2012!

_...and now, a holiday poem for you, from WebSpider!
Whatever you celebrate, we hope you have fun!
                                          .    .    .
Twas the week before Christmas, when all ‘cross the floor
All the puppets were stirring as JP wished them more:
“May your stockings be stuffed with all sort of treats,
Like kisses, and hugs, and holiday sweets!”

They should have been nestled in snug puppet beds,
But visions of sugarplums danced in their heads!
And Judy was sewing, still hard at her work –
With Christmas this close, she didn’t dare shirk!
