Thank you Andrea! The picture of the lantern and flowers behind the rain washed windowpane really elicited a visceral response - I didn't expect that kind of emotion. I am positive that elicited the imagery and the story. Still thinking about that picture. It left quite an impression. All the best. Sending you blessings of joy and healing.

Thank you so much my friend! The picture reminded me of many wet, damp days in the woods of the northwest and of feeling that cold damp emptiness from the inside out. Also, thank you for the info on your celebration of Easter and why the dates are different from eastern and western celebrations! Sending you blessing of joy!

Thank you so much Jo. I wrote many versions but kept coming back to this one. Spent many hours in the gloom of rainy days looking out the window by lamplight after picking wildflowers. Hope you are well. Blessings to this for Holy Week.
