Winter day on Raes Creek

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."
Andrew Wyeth, American Painter, 1917-2009

It's not over...


Have you ever, in the silence, wondered at the thought
of how it came to pass the wise men chose the gifts they brought?
Frankincense for holy ones, and gold for kings, but myrrh?
Why a gift for tombs they brought on this, the Savior's birth?

(from the carol In the Silence)
