simple magic and something significant

This past weekend was spent in a little WPA cabin nestled in the woods; wrapped in the sound of falling rain and a rushing creek. There was snow on the ground when we arrived and our breath hung in the air - even inside. Several logs in the cast-iron stove sent the cold scurrying. The whole experience was a bit of an adventure for this mostly-city-mouse and brought so many simple, magical moments: glistening raindrops, clearing skies, melting snow-sculptures, strange moths who wouldn't last the day, and the sure knowledge that something significant is manifesting in my life.


This little shadow puppet piece (created by someone named "Caustic Windows") features a boy, a deer and some ice - all accompanied by Debussy's "Syrinx". Wonderful!
