Christmas is probably what's brought this on. So much of the experience is paradoxical in timbre and texture; we revisit, retrieve, remember, refrain, relapse, recover, resist, restore, reduce, refine. . . and so on and so on. I suppose it's not surprising we should find ourselves feeling a little perplexed? Blue is one part of the whole fandango. (And no rainbow is complete without all the colours?). <br /><br />It is a daily surprise, wonder and joy that we've all met out here. . .

I know that magic is always ruffling your hair, leaving gifts and signs in your path. That you may not hear the hooves does not mean they aren't there. When I let go of trying to dictate the shape of miracles, they are free once more to surprise me.

I think holidays and milestones bring up strong feelings, some of which we'd prefer to ignore, but by surrendering to them, happy or otherwise, we regain our footing.
