Auld Lang Syne
by angeliska on December 31, 2014
Right now, I am standing on the brink between one year and the next, and for the first time in a long time – I feel totally different. The long, long ago feels a lot farther away. So much has (…)
11.11.13. – Mending
by angeliska on November 11, 2013
A year is come and past, 11.11 winking bright and then gone again – and here I am, whole and hale and maybe a tiny touch wiser? There are certainly more silver threads in my crown now. Today, I feel (…)
MARDI GRAS DAYS OF YORE – CIRCA 2009
by angeliska on February 6, 2013
I’m opening a time capsule into a Mardi Gras day of yore that I never got around to writing about – I have a few of those stowed away in my dusty attic of an archive, and it’s just not (…)
New Year's Eve Foxfires at the Changing Tree
by angeliska on December 31, 2012

DRIVE ON, BRAVE CHARIOT
by angeliska on August 1, 2012

Magic Windows #23
by angeliska on August 7, 2011
