Snow Wishes
“Well, I know now. I know a little more how much a simple thing like a snowfall can mean to a person” — Sylvia Plath These lovely, powdery-velvet leaves remind me of a snowy morning, the kind you expect because just before bed the sky-dome held that soft and gentle lighted-haze that all children knowContinue reading “Snow Wishes”

If I’m Still…
There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed. – Washington Irving I can see beloved faces, trace each precious line, follow each curve,… I can hear laughter, feel aContinue reading “If I’m Still…”
A Simple Act
“Of all man’s works of art, a cathedral is greatest….

Fisher, November 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all writings and images are theContinue reading “Jewel Bloom”

A Glorious Splendor
The little bee and delicate butterfly entice me to wait and listen, attend the earth for a moment, release my breath, disconnect, reset my focus, remember my Creator, settle to a stillness — we are so much more than the busyness that moves us, the daily rhythms of work and home — we are spiritsContinue reading “A Glorious Splendor”
The Longing Hours
“Other sound than the owl’s voice there was none, save the falling of a fountain into its stone basin; for it was one of those dark nights that hold their breath by the hour together, and then heave a long low sigh, and hold their breath again.” — Charles Dickens. Some nights I keep companyContinue reading “The Longing Hours”

Besides the Autumn poets sing, a few prosaic days, a little this side of the snow, and that side of the Haze.” ― Emily Dickinson Memories are in every changing season — the first snow of winter, the sweet breezes of warm spring days, the bright-heat of summer, and fall’s first lingering haze. —C.L. Fisher,Continue reading “What Lingers II”
