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.

Decoupage Delights....Fancy Floral
The card above is a lovely image to use as a card just to say hello. With all the stuff that I now do online, sometimes it's just so nice to send a card. To get something that isn't a bill is a nice surprise for anyone.
And I had to share this card that features these wonderful daffodils. I think that this would make a great Easter card or a card to send a welsh friend on Saint Davids Day. There is an offer on this cd (download of the same), over at the Decoupage Delights facebook page..why not pop over and take a look.
Now is the time to introduce you to another of the family..below is a picture of Sprout. When he arrived he was just so scared of everything and to see him now..it's a wonder. He is so full of himself now..and struts around the house as if he's top cat..despite all the girl cats telling him differently..lol. The girls are definitely the bosses in this house. Raven leads the pack and is always at my side. At any sign of bother Raven, Tankie and Milky are all there..lol. It always makes me smile when they are in a group..they are absolute nutters when they get going. As I'm cooking dinner they all run round and round the table chasing each other. There is never a quiet moment with this tribe..lol. I do have to say that they are a blessing..they make me smile every day.
