recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted

being home for the holidays is comforting. we actually have a christmas plant instead of a tree. i like hanging up the ornaments every year, they are so precious. they shine under the light brilliantly and you can't help but notice, and hold one inside the palm of your hands, to feel the warmth of the light.

things that make me smile:
+ snowflakes slowly falling outside the window, as if time stopped for a moment
+ seeing white lights glitter on the naked trees
+ the atmosphere of an antique coffee/tea shop like Mcnulty's
+ receiving little surprises
+ the smell of jasmine flowers at night
+ listening to a song on repeat until you just FEEL

"She tells her love while half asleep,
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:
As Earth stirs in her winter sleep
And puts out grass and flowers
Despite the snow,
Despite the falling snow."
