The longest night of the year
is soon to be upon us...
I found these wonderfully simple
Catholic Prayer Candles at my grocery store
in the fall...
I have been using them everywhere...
for the long night ahead,
I gathered them as a centerpiece...
a centerpiece so bright
it could punch a hole in the darkness
that lies ahead...
in mass
the simplicity of the candles
is quiet and stunning...
embracing the calm quiet,
I set them table
in only white....
an optimist would see the
oncoming longest night of the year
as a night
with extra time for star gazing...
a night to be bedazzled...
to soak in the sparkle...
delicate wings
fill the plates
with whimsy and fluff...
softly capping delicate napkins...
it's easy to welcome the night
knowing...
from here on out the days
will only get longer!
Tonight I am joining...
Thanks for stopping by tonight...
