small fires

tonight a small luxury - watching the day pass into evening
all the soft losses
the tender releasing
the coloured unfurling


this was such an evening


the myriad formless pieces of a day
gathering together


how these soft bodies
these tender hopes
kindle small fires

    Chilling, Steven. The beautiful photos, the tender words, and the perfect music to glue their story together.

    How do you do it?

    Yep, you've done it again! Thanks my friend. You share your wonderful world and transform the world in which I walk and wonder here on the Pacific's eastern shore.

    Lovely, gentle evening in a moment of grace, and those soft clouds getting pinker and rosier by the moment: a small fire will be kindled tonight, and new thoughts and patterns will speak to us. Matchless post, Steven. me

    From winter's perspective here in Mpls, I can't wait to see that sky again...

    dulce - there are some evenings when the sky creates itself and if you sit back and watch, it's predictable in the way beautiful things are. steven

    hey pearl you're not a long way south of me in minneapolis - you should be getting the sweet skies like this every so often!!! we've been hovering around the minus twenty celsius off and on with a climb up to the minus five to tens. wishing you some of the same visual tasties we're getting. steven
