So many criteria
for a deceptively simple task.
Light weight
. useful
.  fun
.   full to over-flowing with love
Small tokens are all I can
pack in a bag
Only miniscule metaphors for my
immeasurable gratitude.
What gift is enough?
Oh, what can
I bring?

This spring I’m off to do a couple of writing retreats and visiting friends and family from my times as a exchange student, yay those many years ago. Since I only travel with a carry-on, regardless of the length of the stay, I have limited room for all the gifts I want to bring.  >>sigh<< I’m hoping my trip to the Fabric store will meet assorted needs. Wish me luck!
