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.

Jiggery Makery .........My favourite ladies
Hello again. I'm here again as a member of the fabulous design team at Jiggery Makery. I have decided for today to share 4 of my favourite designs brought to us crafters by the very talented Adele. As I've said many times, I love the variety of ladies that are available as digital designs from Adele at Jiggery Makery. There is always something sassy about the ladies and I love being able to work with them. If you get the chance , why not pop over to the Jiggery Makery facebook page and take a look at the wonderful creations that the new members of the design team have made. They are fabulous.
There is definitely some wonderful shoes...I love the thought of very high heels and I've promised myself that when I have some spare money, I'm going to buy myself a pair of the highest possible just to wear in my wheelchair..lol. I would never be able to walk in them anyway but at least I will be able to give the impression that I would. Even when I could walk I couldn't wear heels. It didn't help much that I am 6 foot tall. And I have been 6 foot since I was 12..so for many years I towered over my boyfriends..even without the heels
Well time for another coffee and then I will ready to hear everyones views after the village meeting. So I hope that you all have a great weekend and I'll be back tomorrow. Until take care and happy crafting.
