Beautiful poem.The image is from Jan Richardson‘s website.
I had no idea that “Blue Christmas” was more than Elvis‘s song. Or that the winter Solstice, the longest day of the year, was also celebrated by early Christians as “Blue Christmas”, a day to honor grief/darkness-later part of advent traditions.

I have enjoyed this cozy series, including this book, #3. Small town known for its healing properties, hot springs, a bookstore owned by an intuitive, almost magical bibliotherapist. She has uncanny abilities to match books to exactly what a person needs. 4 women,each carrying a heart wrenching secret, begin bonding over the course of this series, solving mysteries along the way.
Some wonderful observations! #day29 #breeze #poetrymatters #emmalazarus
