These days of enchantment have been magnified by the presence
of a sweet Forest Prince. Outside, snowflakes descend from the clouds in a slow
dance, shinning brilliantly as they catch and release the light coming from the
semi-hidden sun. Ice crystals imprinting
onto the earth’s surface only to dissipate hours later as though the magic they
carried was too powerful for us to encounter, that we could only catch a
fleeting glimpse. The cold air outdoors made the air indoors that much warmer
and sweeter like freshly baked apple pie resting warmly in your tummy. Winter
walks followed by hot chocolate and cinnamon, Christmas music playing in the
background as we dance and sing and decorate our humble abode. Forest’s sweet smile and glow in his eyes as
he watches the twinkling lights all around him, in love and awe at the honeyed
season. The delicate smell of pine
needles wafting through our home mixing with scents of sugar cookies, cakes and
coffee being forged by our bare hands in anticipation for Holiday Company. Cold
bodies unthawing together in the warmth of layered blankets while sleepy eyes
adjust to the morning light, wanting for naught but rest and the leisure of an unhurried
existence…so we sleep; and when we wake, we cuddle together like campers around
a warm fire, our ardor for a steady glow resonating continuously as we resume our
day. This has been our lives as of late: sleepiness in between the charms of
our current season. Life is beautiful.
