Remember that ANY writing feeds into a writing project - it's not an absence of work on TWR but a lateral approach to honouring the imagination!<br /><br />Yes, candles are important in the Catholic Church too. I feel so strongly that we all need a break from the grid and electric light at times, and candles usher in a completely different dynamic, don't they - a kind of soft-light bath for the psyche.<br /><br />Love to you both and enjoy the rest of your time up north.

Roselle – I very much like...From Miriam in Keswick:<br />Roselle – I very much like the way you alter the refrain in its last appearance, making a question of it and the last line punctuated differently. Very subtle but startling.<br />Candles resonate with us, both as a memorial to dead loved-ones (a Jewish custom; and, I think, a Catholic one? but please correct me if I'm wrong) and a wonderful way – learned from winter visits to Denmark – to carry us through the dark months. I find myself looking forward to dusk just so that I can light candles; an improvement on the days when I dreaded the long dark nights.<br /><br />We both did Triolets with our last writing-tutor/facilitator, Marge Clouts, and reading yours inspires me to try i again. Lots of 'Moments' in my diary this week, so TWR on hold, but still churning around head as much of it's inspired by Keswick. Back to work on the 9th.<br /><br />(Great to be here in Keswick, weather not at all bad and a clear-eyed bite to the air, but although we can receive emails we can't send. Tried to respond to yours last Fri, but no luck. Shall send when we're back next Sat/Sun.)<br /><br />With love from both (J is smiling)<br />Miriam xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
