Winter Solstice Tidings
I love the way holidays create the illusion of time standing still. No-one has to be anywhere. No clocks to punch or meetings to rush around for. Today is quiet.

A shamanic journey : please show me the state of my heart. Me and Grizzly run through the sky that turned to night - bright night sky filled with sparkly stars that shine like pin pricks.
Celebrating Samhain With Kids
