2020 Christmas Letter / Vivek Bhasin
I managed to climb on top of the highest mountain.. the last married pair of swans one-white one-black come swinging in from the north; just swooshing past me I bloody well jump… just managed to land on the black this graceful elegance.. in flight heading south.
