La Pouyette - December 2009
that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt;
and perhaps it says
"Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
Lewis Caroll - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

“Snowflakes swirl down gently in the deep blue haze beyond the window...
...The outside world is a dream.
Inside, the fireplace is brightly lit....

La Pouyette - February 2012
“Snowflakes swirl down gently in the deep blue haze beyond the window...
...The outside world is a dream.
Inside, the fireplace is brightly lit....
and the Yule log crackles with orange and crimson sparks.
...There’s a steaming mug in your hands, warming your fingers.
There’s a friend seated across from you in the cozy chair,
warming your heart.
There is mystery unfolding.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perputual Calendar of Inspiration
