the first light of advent is the light of stones,
light that shines in seashells, in crystals and in bones.
the second light of advent is the light of plants,
plants that reach up to the sun and in the breezes dance.
the third light of advent is the light of beasts,
light that shines so bright in the greatest and the least.

we arrived home late last night from our week away in woods hole for chanda's end of semester presentation. we were supposed to have gone in october, but instead greg and i had covid then. we had car trouble coming back . . and were stuck on the road. subsequently, we were all exhausted last night and it felt amazing that we were able to get it together for a family christmas celebration this evening. morgan and harley fly back to london tuesday night around 8:30 pm. they were supposed to leave early tomorrow morning, but the flight was changed due to the approaching storm. i can hear the rain on the windowpane now . .
