  5. Oh Catherine–this is so beautiful–what an inspiration in a time when it would be so easy to give up hope! Have a blessed Christmas–and thank you for enriching my life this year.

  6. “For the light will find you…” Yes, indeed. I smiled at that line, because the title of my Christmas Day post is “Followed by a Star.” Different words, different photos, but the same reality.

  8. Gail – Indiana – Life is full of fascinating moments. Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. It not only enriches your understanding, but provides a deeper level of connection. I find that one sentence can tell an intriguing story.

    Hope is the seed that springs forth from winter slumber. Never give up! 🌿

  9. Robyn Haynes – Australia – Robyn enthusiastically pursues a green and writerly life on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, where her background as a doctor of social anthropology equips her with an interesting slant on the human condition. She spends much time indulging a passion for her garden where she ponders life and attempts to stave off existential angst. In her more reflective moments she makes wry observations on courtyard gardening and its parallels with life.

  15. simon7banks – Harwich, UK – I write poems and stories, often mystical or fantastical. I believe very strongly that poetry is an art of the spoken word, so the sound of the words is important: so please say my poems aloud, if only in your head. I live in the U.K., in Harwich, Essex, but have worked in Kenya and Finland, and travelled to many other places. This is my literary blog. I'm also a Liberal Democrat political activist, birder, long-distance trail walker, real ale drinker and Quaker.

    A very Quaker sentiment.

  16. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.

    Here I remember East Coker, in the Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot. I text I like a lot.

  17. Julie Sheppard aka Reiko Chinen – Bridgeport, TX – I am a woman who has faced many storms in this life, and have had my ups and downs, but the One who has gotten me this far is Jesus. He loves me so much He died for me, and everything he suffered for my sake makes my pain and suffering seem so much smaller. Now I just want to share with others all He has done for me, and hope I encourage at least one person with what I share.
