This is the real communism, to me

A Simple Winter Solstice Ritual: A 🧵. If you do nothing else to mark the longest night, the Solstice Eve, do this. Be still for five minutes of the night and start with one small candle. Let the light grow from there. Blessed days, holy nights.

A lovely 🧵....

Thread of unique Holiday music. Awake Arise: A Winter Album. By Lady Maisery, Jimmy Aldridge, and Sid Goldsmith. It's a marvelous collection of traditional English Folk music for the season, spoken word, and original. Truly a journey through winter to be listened to in it's completeness.

Two little Green Man book marks I did.

The totally stunning (if a little top-heavy 😂) 12th century doorway into the Church of St. Leonard, Southoe, Cambridgeshire. Imagine it with a bit of polychromy, too! 🤩

This morning's grand glow. Good morning from the mountains.

"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools." - Henry Beston (Northern Farm) The wind has been blowing here on Dartmoor and we're definitely in our winter wools now. Lottie and I wish you a good weekend.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee my hearte But the verye next daye Ther came a wolf, Wyth sinews of whispers, quiet as frost And the wolf stole my hearte, Fled to a tower out of tyme Biyonde all the stars. Seek now my hearte, Return it within a yeare and a daye: Thys ys thy queste!

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
