The holiday candle collection has been erected in the attic. It is here where I do much of the writing for this blog, and here where I find light and stillness and calm, even in the mayhem of the holiday season. I am behind on the shopping and gift procurement for friends and family. To be honest, I’ve already lost track of what I got for anyone, and I’m now at the point where I need to figure that shit out immediately if I am to get anything else via online shopping. It’s too close for my Virgo comfort, but this year I’m going easy on myself.
The weather has been kinder this December, if slightly more disturbing, and its the latter element that overwhelms. There should be more of a chill to the days right now. We are almost at the start of winter. It doesn’t feel like it. Still, the days go dark very early, and we keep the light as best as we can.
