The year's threshold



"This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath." - Margaret Atwood

Celebrate the light, dear reader - for tomorrow, the nights start drawing in again...

      I love George Barbier - the epitome of Art Deco. Jx
