Week 23: History. Yes, I think it is fitting that the last day of the year is a Wednesday...the day I usually post. And there has been so much history made in the last year...
This candle was purchased on a roadtrip I took to Durango to visit my cousin. I was accompanied on the trip by Cassie Montgomery aka Wahkuna. My cousin and her dog, Frankie, were with us in this great little boutique downtown and I reluctantly dropped more money than I should've...but I've never regretted it. This is the best smelling, longest lasting, most beautiful candle I've ever owned.
Behind the candle is a postcard my dad brought home from one of his many business trips. The actual painting is called The Sonnet. William Mulready, a 19th century Irishman (who spent most of his life in London), painted it during the Romanticism movement. I want to see it with my own eyes in London's Victoria and Albert Museum someday.
And even though I just described two pretty ordinary objects, a candle and a postcard, I am often impressed with their beauty...which is why you are looking at a picture of them this week. Yes, I love the extraordinarily ordinary.
And now I share a poem I wrote about two years ago after my return to the US from my time at Homes of Hope in Fiji...
He is no man which
lets friend hard fight under night
Give my heart thought and
honesty
true, loyal light
And listen as secret voice
would always only protect every good
as if what's beteween time
had never mattered
Happy end of 2008! Welcome, future memories of 2009!

I have no words worthy for the poem, besides a humble, I love it and it's perfect.
Deep thoughts.
Love,
S.
