KissesThat Melt

“How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.”

Victor Hugo

Water

"Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I got a new Macro Lens for Christmas. I will be experimenting with it. So bear with me.

Tradition

“For somehow, not only at Christmas, but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.”

John Greenleaf Whittier
This ornament has been in my family for generations. It came over from Germany with one of my ancestors.

Rapunzel's Tower?

"High in her tower she sits by the hour maintaining her hair, blythe and becoming and frequently humming a light-hearted air, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Agony! Far more painful than yours, When you know she would go with you, if there only were doors"
Into the Woods
