Happy Yalda Night :) This painting, is still one of my favourites I have done:)

I wrote this poem to go with it. Hope you enjoy.

Tonight, the earth inhales
and holds its breath.

The longest dark
presses its palm against the window,
asking to be remembered.

We light candles not to defeat the night
but to sit beside it,
to say: we see you.

In Persian homes,
pomegranates split open like small red suns,
each seed a promise whispered through generations:
This will pass.
So will this.

Poems are unfolded,
Hafez speaking across centuries,
ink still warm with faith
that language can outlast fear.

Somewhere else,
under another sky,
a different table waits,
evergreens breathing resin and hope,
fires stitched into hearths,
stories told because winter demands them.

Different names.
Same instinct.

To gather.
To eat sweetness against the cold.
To remember that light is not gone,
only turning inward,
learning patience.

The solstice does not rush.
It teaches us this quiet miracle:
that from the deepest dark
the days begin,
almost imperceptibly,
to return.

Tonight is not about triumph.
It is about trust.

That the sun remembers us.
That warmth is only resting.
That love, like light,
moves in cycles,
and always finds its way back.

So we stay awake a little longer.
We crack seeds.
We share verses.
We lean closer to one another
and say, without saying it:

We have survived this before.
We will do it again.

It snowed here today and this image is pretty much my view out of my window… so here is a little reminder

You are equipped with all you need to flourish. Just as each snowflake finds its place in the tapestry of white, know that you, too, have a unique space to fill.

Remember that everyday is the best day of the year.

“Don’t look back. You are not going that way”.

Certainly, here are the hashtags without the preceding dots:

You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself. ~The Wizard of OZ

An encouraging, positive or inspiring quote a day.
Lets see how many days I can keep this up;)

Drawing challenge with an 8 year old 😊

I am so amazed at his skills!!! Can you tell who drew which one?

Yalda…
Is the longest night of the year, promising that the light will come and prevail. It is a time you spend with loved ones from sunset to sunrise to overcome the darkness together.

This Yalda I hope the iranians can finally prevail and have the darkness of I.R lifted after 43 years.

Who would like to be this guy right now?

Sounds lush, warm and toasty 😂
