The Habit of Light

The Habit of Light

In the early evening she liked to switch on the lamps in corners, on low tables, to show off her brass, her polished furniture, her silver and glass. At dawn she'd draw all the curtains back for a glimpse of the cloud-lit sea. Her oak floors flickered in an opulence of beeswax and light. In the kitchen, saucepans danced their lids,
the kettle purred on the Aga, supper on its breath
and the buttery melt of a pie,
and beyond the swimming glass of old windows, in the deep perspective of the garden,
a blackbird singing, she'd come through the bean rows in tottering shoes, her pinny full of strawberries,
a lettuce, bringing the palest potatoes in a colander,
her red hair bright with her habit of colour,
her habit of light.

Even their lemon loaf - shocking, I know.
This recipe is so darn quick and easy it is hard to beat.
I only made one change and that is a "Flexible Measurement".

Thanksgiving.

Today is our traditional American holiday of giving thanks. We are to pause and remember those gifts in our ordinary or not so ordinary days. But this holiday, as with oh so many in our culture has been hijacked by the corporate sell. I could rant on about the loss of focus to that which is of true importance in our lives but today is so sacred to me. This is the holiday that embodies my daily practice of rising early to record all the blessings, great and small, that make my journey remarkable. I reflect on those gifts in my life which are those that glitter with authenticity and shine a light into every moment of my life.
My husband-Mr B, for 35 years now. Up and down. Round and round. Rich or poor. We have weathered storms and enjoyed safe harbors together. He has been the one to put up with my madness and gently stear me down the better path. My children-Elizabeth and Maureen. So incredibly different but remarkable women in their own unique way. …
