...i have been trying to get started on magic... but sometimes trying doesn't get me anywhere. i went outside. it warmed up here today. it is a nice day to be out walking. there is no snow on the ground...but not much growth. dad died around this time of year and the barren landscape often makes me sad.
...i stopped for a moment by a grave of one of my cats, poisoned a few years back by one of the neighbors.... the site is marked by an old iron sunflower. as i sang her favorite song i noticed the rusty blush on the bloom. i thought once again about continuing as simply change. and how remembering is also a way to keep going.
on the way back to house i noticed all the debris leftover from the winter storms. ha! kindling! winter's gift.
once inside, things had become clearer. that was it. it is a season for gathering, even if it is just fuel for a fire. i have decided to include indigo in the color scheme. it is such a magic blue.
