The Fire and Light of Hope

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's a work to warm these days of a deep and dangerous cold, following the winter solstice and the ostensible return of the light. It's a work that embodies the very promise of the solstice itself, winter and summer both, ablaze with the fire and light of hope.

The post is here. Wings's main page is here. Inquiries via the site's Contact formWe were able to cover November's and most of December's monthly expenses and some additional costs, like the hay for the horses and one load of firewood for us (but no plumbing repairs until the pandemic recedes; it's too dangerous to bring people into close quarters like that here now). But there's more firewood to cover before winter gets really under way (and it's here today, with a wind chill of 3), and there's still the process of figuring out this water/well-drilling problem. Meanwhile, the pandemic rages unchecked and the economy is dead (a grand total of four holiday sales this year, which will not get us much past the opening days of the new year, never mind the first six months of it), and we have a long winter to come to get through, too. And since neither the drought nor the pandemic is going anywhere, we are still going to need consistent sales to make it through the whole winter (which, if the political sphere goes sideways again, will be bitter indeed for our communities), so shares of the site links are much appreciated. I also posted a new piece last Wednesday, so please share that, too; it's a smaller work, and more modestly priced.
