I see this meadow in the winter moonlight, and I am skiing along the tree line. Every now and again, I stop, and listen to the night. It’s an exquisite stillness, broken only by occasional sounds: a breeze shifting some branches, the hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo of a Great Horned Owl, something scurrying along in the night (maybe a porcupine?). I hear my breath, slowing.
I hope someone has really been out there, and written a poem about it.
(Believe it or not, this photograph is in color)

On this the last day of 2011, how to sum up the year here and around the globe? This image for one – which got me thinking about Anna Nalick’s song Just Breathe, from 2005 – my vote for the soundtrack of 2011.
Lyrics and original recording here, and a live acoustic performance here.

The winter solstice, or the “return of the light”, has been celebrated across the globe from time immemorial. Christmas Day, the annual observance of the birth of Jesus Christ, is generally believed to have borrowed heavily from those earlier solstice traditions. The candlelight service here is at the Deep River Congregational Church.
