What beautiful imagery, Mary! You captured the spirit of Solstice in the spiral, the evergreen and the flickering light, and the beauty of how we can be a light for one another, just by shining our own light. I appreciate your illumination and the warmth it evokes! Happy Solstice!❄️

You did it again...

I am drawn to the visual arts first, and philosophy, which I once heard described as 'art with concepts'.

Then to music and great novels. Though I admire it, poetry is for me the least accessible of the arts.

But yours touches me.

I'm so glad. Thank you for telling me.

"Art with concepts"... I like that. :-)
