a few reminiscings' of yesterdays ice storm here...
That morning we woke up to darkness. Dark cold that seeps into your bones. The world outside was distorted and devastated. Broken and shattered, bowed down.
I stand here at the window looking at a traumatized, ice covered world outside.
I am sad for the loss of our beautiful trees. For the shade and ambiance so ruthlessly destroyed.

Then I remember they are just trees. We have a home, we have all we need.
But I still mourn a little. After all it is Christmas and this does not seem like a very appropriate scene.
Then I ponder the alternative, what actually could be more fitting then destruction?
When did the world need Christmas more than now? When did it ever need the Light of Christmas more than now?

I trudge outside with my camera wanting to somehow capture the scene around me.
I know it's impossible to fully describe the quietness of the land.
The stark beauty in the devastation.
Here a reminder so strong how we need the Hope that Christmas brings.
The believing in the magnitude of something greater than our own understanding.
The new tree I planted in the fall is bowed right down low.
Bowed over with bated breath, heavy, waiting and full; expecting a miracle.
Feeling thankful here tonight. After a busy day, happy to host some friends who were "in the dark still." Knowing there is still many waiting....
the candle here in the middle of my table keeps on flickering.....
Merry Christmas!
to you.....
love, Lucy~
