what does the world think?
you, the owl or the rabbit?
you, the open hand.

when I say beauty
I mean completely yourself

Today is Nollaig na mBan - women's Christmas. A tradition which did not make it to the north of Ireland due to British colonialisation, but it is alive and well southwards on the island.
After Christmas, women who had been busy making everything perfect for everyone else held their own festival. No men allowed. It's back in vogue - apparently hotels chalk up decent post-Xmas profit on get-togethers.
Some make special cakes, and I suspect drink may also be imbibed ;)

Happy Nollaig na mBan!

@owlislost @bookstodon Still reading Braiding Sweetgrass by #Indigenous #NativeAmerican #botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer. Purposely taking my time with it because it's worth it in order to absorb the wonders she imparts. It's a real joy!

In those last moments
winter sunset pours golden,
spill of memory.
