Thank you for these beautiful poems, Frances. I'm not having a particularly quiet Solstice week, and you have given me something peaceful to contemplate and enjoy as I sit for a few moments. May your blessings to all of your readers return many-fold to you! Happy, peaceful holidays to you!

Wishing you a lovely winter solstice too Frances. The sun is setting now where I live. I was just outside watching it. Very cold and very bright.

Yes, these nights are especially clear and cold. I don't know if I'll see them but there are going to be peak views of the Ursid meteor shower for some people. Stay cozy and warm.

Indeed, here we are in the very wee hours of the morning watching over the sleeping world. How wonderful. Raising my mug of Earl Grey to you, Frances!

A happy and peaceful solstice, my friend, and thank you for the poetry. Mary Oliver and Susan Cooper's poems are long time favourites, and I am also fond of poems by Elsa Gidlow and Sandy Brown Jensen.
