A Hushing Fall
“A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air…whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne The soft silence of snow, the morning’s crisp cold, the hushing fall of so many tiny, crystal worlds cocooning us into a long-needed pause, and I welcome the suspended calm. —C.L.

…like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land. — from Isaiah 32:2 Let us put to sleep our distress, stow our woes in sunken chests, hide away our sorrows, push down the unrest of our weary souls, not in denial of a difficult world, butContinue reading “A Balance of Truth”
Trees of Winter
Missing the green, I’ve become part of the monotone gray, silhouetted against a cloudy sky, my arms stretched, seeking the warmth of a distant sun, cold and weary as I wait for spring, walking among the leafless trees of winter. —C.L.Fisher, January 2022 Unless otherwise indicated, all writings and images are the work of C.L.Continue reading “Trees of Winter”
