I found this snowy owl Christmas card and grabbed it as I love owls and it was perfect for the season. Then I thought of writing a poem that I could include in the card:
THE SNOWY OWL
God has a purpose for all his creations,
and we are all in relation . . . .

While re-reading and “re-thinking” about this piece I realize it hints at the varied cultural experiences I have had the benefit of being part of. I am white. And lucky for me, I realize I can only experience culture in that context and will never fully understand the experiences of my fellow citizens who are not white.

//I was a missionary’s kid in Thailand many years ago. This is a true story, and I have many more. All of my stories and poems are true. As they come up I tell them. I want to have them recorded for my grandchildren. My own children do not seem to be particularly interested in them. They grew up with a multicultural mother, when what they wanted was a mom just like every one else had. They call us TCKs now — third culture kids.
