9 january





long ago, before i had children

i gave this candle holder to my mum at christmas time

i found it in a pottery shop 

which was in the back garage of an old home

i had passed while walking

now it sits on my small altar

in honor of the potter who made it

 in honor of my mum
and in honor of who we once were

  5. What a lovely sentiment. I was given my grandma's old Singer sewing machine at Christmas. Like your candle holder it's very simple (not electric or anything fancy like that), and very useful. She taught me to sew on it a lifetime ago, and now I feel a real connection with her and my childhood when I use it. It's strange and rather wonderful how these things can draw us closer to those who have gone. All the best, Bonny

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
