A Very Full Day

As short as the time
From Spark to Flame,
So brief may the distance be
Between heart and being.
In the name of the fire
And the flame
And the light - John O'Donohue

There was our friend's Imbolc gathering to bless the seeds, a labyrinth painted in the meadow with bird seed then lit with candles at night.   I can imagine how happy the birds were this morning to see the ginormous feast.  The uneaten seeds will sprout roots into the earth and grow.

earlier that afternoon there was a scout bowling banquet.

earlier that morning at the district derby.  A boy waiting in line to check in his car sees the medals on Satchel's shirt and exclaims, "FOUR medals...I'm toast"!  It was a good race, though he did not take the win.

the previous night at BINGO night at his school...where he got sugared up AND won a prize!
