Midwinter Offering
Winter Solstice sometimes know as “midwinter” when the sun reaches its most southerly point, is the shortest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere. I took this photo the other day of some bittersweet. Although it is invasive, it is beautiful. The berries bring a sense of winter festivity to the barren, brown-ness of the woods.
I hope today you get a moment to stop and give thanks for the simple things around you and for the beauty in those simple things. Many blessings today to each of you.

I like it as the opportunity to go out and howl at the moon!
I’ll listen for you…think I will hear you in PA? Maybe if your daughter puts you on speaker phone…smile
you should try it. It’s better if you have company, but there is something very primal about it.
I know, have done, very fun, freeing, and yes, primal…I’ll be sure to listen for you.
if you post a primal haiku, I shall try to contribute ( smile )
