Oh this is brilliant. and by that I mean that I see it flare up the light and warmth we crave at this time of year. As I read it, I am planning inside to do exactly that. I am inside myself, moving the tables and feasting on every scrap of light and love and nourishment I can find. This is wonderful thank you!

Even "edging" is movement. May forgiveness rise. Bless you.

I really love this poem. Thanks to Annette Grunseth for bringing it to the Poetry Pick Me Up a few Thursdays ago. there is a lot to unpack here and I want to read it again and again.
