Half full, half empty. Worn and washed up on the beach.
“Land Ho!” “Pass me the glass! No, not that one, the telescope!”
Through a glass, darkly. Nose to the pane. The ceiling. Don’t throw stones.
Cool and transparent, insulating, sparkly…glass is all around. I look through it all day long, even when I’m outside and have for years. I remember leaving the optometrist’s showroom with my first pair of glasses on. I looked up to the foothills and saw leaves on the trees up there. Suddenly, there was depth and contrast in the distance. It was a miracle. The first time I looked through a microscope was a miracle, too. I imagine indigenous people finding obsidian and cutting their fingers on it, rejoicing. What stuff!
I feel my life getting dull. I’ve been working hard at the book-selling business, rather repetitively. I need to wake up to the scintillating delight of life. This is a perfect visual reminder!
My folks are all in Buffalo and I was hoping someone from there had a blog and would post some artistic shots of the crazy storm they just had, plenty of photo ops there! This will do though! I like the snow shots and the group of pics create a cozy feeling with the snow outside and the candles and refreshments inside. Well done.
Oh, your folks must have some astonishing stories! 8 feet of snow in 3 days is…apocalyptic. I’m glad I live on this side of the Great Lakes. Hope they’re warm and cozy with plenty of refreshments inside. Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful photos and words to go with them!
Thank you, my friend!
