Coming down out of the freezing sky
with its depths of light,
like an angel, or a Buddha with wings,
it was beautiful, and accurate,
striking the snow and whatever was there
with a force that left the imprint
of the tips of its wings — five feet apart —
and the grabbing thrust of its feet,
and the indentation of what had been running
through the white valleys of the snow —
and then it rose, gracefully,
and flew back to the frozen marshes
to lurk there, like a little lighthouse,
in the blue shadows —
so I thought:
maybe death isn’t darkness, after all,
but so much light wrapping itself around us —
as soft as feathers —
that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking,
and shut our eyes, not without amazement,
and let ourselves be carried,
as through the translucence of mica,
to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow,
that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light —
in which we are washed and washed
out of our bones.

Bebunni for Someone special
Todays card is from the wonderful Bebunni double cdrom brought to us by Crafters Companion. This cdrom is my featured cd for the design team over at jb-crafting supplies. This next week.I shall be having a play with this cd and share my creations with you shortly.
Todays blog will be a short one as the whole house has been hit by a dreaded lergie. Yesterday saw the beginning of it and now my best friend, Son and myself have been hit by this horrible affliction. We are coughing and moaning...I don't know where it has arrived from..and I just wish it would go away..lol.
So please excuse me for today..I'm finding it very hard to focus..and I'm now off for a lie down with all the furbabies. I hope that you are having a good day and I'm hoping that I will back on track tomorrow...so until then...take care and happy crafting.
