it's not faith if you're using your eyes

Title unrelated. It's just what I'm listening to.

I saw my first wild skunk today! It was rooting through the old gingerbread house we threw in the front rock garden, munching on it all the while. I'd never been that close to an actual, live skunk before and it was actually quite adorable. Skunks have an obvious stigma in this society, so I always wrote them off as undesirable animals. But the way it was snuffling through the rocks and bits of cookie... Awwwwww. It had this funny, roly-poly method of walking too. I really wanted to pet it.

But that would have been a terrible idea. So I didn't.

Lyrical Interlude #2

windows of frosted ice
prisming candlelight
and somehow we start to believe

in the night and the dream
as it cuts through the noise
with the whisper of snow
as it starts to deploy

in the depths of a night
that’s about to begin
with the feeling of snow
as it melts on your skin

and it covers the land
with a dream so intense
that it returns us all
to a child’s innocence
and then what you’d thought lost
and could never retrieve
is suddenly there to be found...
on christmas eve !!

Weather Update.

I love the snow. :D
