Night voices are beautiful: hushed and hidden. Listen. When the world is quiet, whispers are loud.

Winter Of Our Shadows
Month: December 2019
You won’t remember.
Snow fell in December, flakes as fragile as love. A poet wept. Time stood still.
The world was beautiful and I felt special, knowing I’m not.
Yes, beauty is deceptive. Winter turned to spring. I learned the language of loss and how much I miss a snowflake.

I found her out back, wrapped in a blanket, a glass of Dom Perignon, in hand.
“Sit,” she said, “I’m tasting stars.”
Bring Light
“Better to light a candle than to curse the dark.” ~ Chinese Proverb
Bring Light. It’s a form of meditation, to strike a match and watch a flame. Soy candles are simple creations. Collect suitable containers from Thrift: silver sugar bowls, Mason jars, and vintage glass are beautiful choices. Choose your favourite natural, scented oils. Three cups of wax equals one large candle.
Hint: Chopsticks hold and centre the wick in place. Set overnight. Trim the wick.
🖤
Always use caution around a flame.
Hint: Sometimes, I push in lavender and the last of the rose buds, foraged from the garden.
Hint: Collect vintage or ‘word’ matchboxes to add with your gift of light.
