a light in the dark of winter

December 12, 2013

light doesn’t have to be big and bright and bold to be powerful.

a tiny flame – can hold warmth and wonder.

a tiny flame – can calm the mind, slow the breath, and soften the vision.

a match.
a candle.
a flick of the wrist.
a spark.
a flame.

and then there was light in the darkness.

{if this sings to you, i invite you to join me for hope floats in winter. let’s find the beauty in the cold & the dark & the snow.}

      Giggling because now I want pizza. PIZZA! Hehehe.

      So glad you are along for the ride! Atlas has been smooched. I am about to take him outside. The weather is in the teens here, and I think he is ready to finally RUN.

  3. a wonderful reminder. It is snowing again here, third time in a week, tonight I will light a candle before bed, as a small reminder of warmth and comfort.
