Rich days to prepare
Hustle bustle, shop and cook
Join in festive meal
Christmas now is past
Gift to savor candle light
Settle into calm

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Viv, this is lovely! And a perfect expression of how I’m feeling now. Thank you so much for your succinct way of putting it.
Thank you, Janet. It’s companionable to hear we feel the same way. ❤
I love the sense of relief and calm in the poem Ina.
Andrea, I’m glad it comes through. Thanks for your comment.
Oh I hear you.. it’s nice to have a bit of peace after the holiday is over 😉
I have long loved the time after Christmas is over. W.H. Auden’s poem For the Time Being:A Christmas Oratorio says it so well.
That poem is honest and sobering, as well as highlighting joys.. it’s lovely xx
So soft and beautiful
Thanks, Lynn. 🙂
Glad you like it, Christie. One of my favorite lines (roughly) is ” I know the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
