17 May 2018 In the desolation of darkness, she felt a kind of Namaste, an Ubuntu as though there was a candle trying to burn lightness into the black night and she took that tiny light and scattered it around her and the little lights grew and grew and grew and the day burst into sight. |

Oh, Lori! What a lovely reply! And please give Winston and Mizz Kitty lots and lots and lots of huggles and cuddles and strokles and kissles and love from Auntie Di across the huuuuuge water bowl and waggy-tailed woofs from Benji and purr-meeows from Shadrach, Meshach and Abigail! How sweet of Winston and Mizz Kitty (and you for passing their message on!)! |

I think perhaps I came here today seeking the image these words evoke. I know I'll leave holding it close. Beautiful work! |
