you cannot know how this singling out for gratitude, energy, would pierce my heart.
perfect for all gratitude advent calendars...

Beautiful photos of snow and the joy of play in it. It makes me feel light just seeing it! Davinci's Virgin is so beautiful and even she looks filled with a mystical energy. I love this post!

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could see the black dog had turned up too and that I was completely at his mercy.

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window, which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise.

Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing...
