Hi Mom,
Liesel found this amazing Hildegarde von Bingen piece directly below, which led me to accumulate some other pieces plus Grove of Whispers from Warren Ellis yesterday, which led me to a page with a Bandcamp Daily post about Demen (and OH MY IS THAT GREAT).
I am still in low power mode, trying to confine myself to as few words as possible.
Yesterday, Liesel and I spent a magical and quiet day watching movies, eating baked goods, and enjoying candle light and movies. I finally watched Cold Mountain. We also watched an Amazon original - The Lost City of Z.
I considered re-posting any one or all of these past Christmas posts. Yesterday's post on Ellory was a re-post of 2016's Christmas Day post. Below are links to four posts I am rather proud of from 2015 (plus one from 2016), when, just months after your death, Mom, I was really hurting and yet basking in the great love of family. Two years removed from that time (WOW, I have been doing this daily blog for OVER two years), I am in a much better place. I do miss you, Mom, but the hurt is not raw anymore.
I believe in the power of love. There's magic here in my house because of that love and because of this the great web of connection through time, space, spirits, and memory. As Yeats said, "Spiritus mundi."
Bring joy; find joy.
Still, these links speak to my Christmas experiences.
And this music is great.
To all my loved ones near and far, Merry Christmas and a the happiest of holidays.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
