Lingering Twilight

Isn’t it a marvel that just when the days begin to warm, they also lengthen? And in that marvelous stretch, twilight lingers. With cold winter evenings just barely at our backs, these mellow twilights offer a comfortable, liminal space where all things are possible.

I walk with a friend and forget the time as we chat our way up and down hills. I plant trees with Seda, watering as the first stars light the sky. I deliver marionberry canes in pots to a friend who has kindly given a read to my book-in-progress. We sit in her porch swing as darkness falls, marveling at the gifts of life.

Twilight is a world-between-worlds. Our shadows stretch as we come to appreciate the light.

How are you loving these longer twilights? Do you pause to feel the joy of light lingering and letting go?
