Did you create some beauty today? For my part, I put together an elegant legal argument and spent some time teaching young lawyers how to think and write about the law (which is as beautiful to me as the sand is to the artist above -- and almost as malleable a medium and certainly as susceptible to changing tides). And now I'm going to spend time knitting a sweater to keep G/Son warm next year. Tell me about the beauty you created.

Update: I see that SoBeIt and I are reading from the same book today.

I puttered in my herb garden—some weeding in the new lavender and rosemary, repotting the woad until it's big enough to fend for itself out in a bed, setting out some basil and more catnip . . . and then worked on a winter sweater for John. And made beautiful salads for supper.
Spring is so very lovely this year! I have been luxuriating in it.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

Great stuff from this part of the internet. Again, thank you for this blog.
