by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

recuperating
coming home from modern dance class at night . . everyone's holiday lights are so pretty.
thank you so much, san. your words warm my heart. i love holiday time and now we can sing our advent songs and bake and make room for the christmas tree.
we look forward to your package! you're so thoughtful! love to all of you xoxo.
So many lovely flowers! Perfect for the second week of Advent (You know, right? First the stones, then the flowers (plants), then the animals, then the humans).
hello eva! yes, we sang it monday morning (too late sunday night!) the second light of advent is the light of plants; plants that reach up to the sky and in the breezes dance.
i used to not like it when they received so many flowers . . because of course they all just die and then need to be put in the garbage. but now we can take them to the composting group in the square, and they will all return to the earth. so much better :)
Looking at these flowers made my heart sing! such a lot of joy in them and in the God given dancing gift for all your lovely girls.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all manage to enjoy a few days of quiet time and as I write there is a package winging its way to you, spreading some Advent cheer.
Hugs to you lovely friend
San xxxx
