Air and Darkness
I braved the sea today. Out on the edge of the Realm, where the water flows (always) round the now-frozen landscape, there is a fragment of an old temple, lovingly preserved by the demifae. And a lighthouse. There is little else in this corner of the Realm, save the lighthousekeeper’s house, which is just far enough from Continue reading

Self Portraits in the Dead of Winter
Sometimes, sometimes, sitting here on my cloud My thoughts turn to fears I cannot speak aloud. It seems too much trouble, this holding ’til Spring And so in this darkness I whistle and I sing. Why did my life lead me to times such as these Where hope for the future’s as slight as the breeze Just give me one Continue reading

Sixteenth Night?
I know there’s something I’ve forgotten to do. The days go by so fast in this season, as if we’re hurrying Winter out the door. Which I guess, in a way, is what we’re doing, what with all the bell-ringing, sun-waking, clock-starting traditions. And of course: that’s what it is. My human mother always, without fail, Continue reading

Quick Outing to Pandora Resort!
When you arrive at Pandora Resort, the mist (or is that smoke?) cloaks you like a blanket. Everything is so obscured. The skin Gwyneth’s wearing is the January Group Gift from 7 Deadly s{K}ins. There is a price to join the group (L$225), but this skin comes with a ton of appliers, including Omega head appliers, Continue reading

Shaggy Cat Story
With apologies to the monstrous and daunting songwriting talent of Randy Newman, of course. I changed only a few lines in the song, but I think it kinda works! I don’t know what came over me: must be these Crazy and Cute Cat Slippers from Death Row Designs. They’re at The Crossroads. YouTube: Original Randy Newman recording of “You Can Continue reading

Beginning a Book Forest
I’m building a book forest. Yes, that’s right: a book forest. I got inspired by this gacha at The Guardians, the Storybook Gacha by BananaN. One of the rares is a Book Door! And I was thinking, what would you find if you walked through a Book Door? I’d come across this great set from Una, the Book Road, after I Continue reading

Tranquility, Temporary
I don’t think there’s a word that really means “the calm after a storm”. Someone suggested “lull” to me, but that sounds like a quiet bit inside a storm to me, not the calm that comes after it. Anyway, I am enjoying that temporary tranquility today. I just threw on some jeans and a jumper (sweater, Americans!) and headed for Continue reading

Waiting
Patience is a virtue I’ve never had. So shopping at any time of the year with Nathaniel is a bit of a trial. Shopping with him at Christmas is a nightmare. Don’t get me wrong: I love him deeply, but I have seen this man stare at two waistcoats for three quarters of an hour, trying Continue reading

I’m pretty sure.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been thinking a lot about my childhood lately. Perhaps it was the question one of the unpleasant and omnipresent Seelie Court Ladies asked back at the formal Samhain Feast, which is a lot like Christmas Dinner With Aunt Trudy (c’mon; we all have one) in that it is both boring Continue reading

Deep red the bracken; its shape is lost; the wild goose has Raised its accustomed cry. Cold has seized the birds wings; season of ice. This is my news. Continue reading
