- Christmas Trees By William Logan How should I now recall the icy lace of the pane like a sheet of cellophane, or the skies of alcohol poured over the saltbox town? On that stony New England tableau, the halo of falling snow glared like a waxy crown.
- Through blue frozen lots my giant parents strolled, wrapped tight against the cold like woolen Argonauts, searching for that tall perfection of Scotch pine from the hundreds laid in line like the dead at Guadalcanal.
- The clapboard village aglow that starry stark December I barely now remember, or the brutish ache of snow burning my face like quicklime. Yet one thing was still missing. I saw my parents kissing, perhaps for the last time.

- Howya! Could you help and spread the word about this show? Trying to spread good vibes and positivity through Ireland during these difficult times! Thanks! The Show is called Every Blooming Thing
- maybe you'd like to come to one of the shows (and even join us on stage!) and if not, maybe you can share this info with anyone who might benefit from buzzing along.
- I put this show together with Erin because I've been feeling more and more that in our outward looking, acquisitive culture and challenging context these days, what’s beautiful right in front of us can often get overlooked, even dismissed.

View full threadIt's like Erin said "we felt it was important to look at the small moments of beauty that exist in the everyday- as a way to shore ourselves up, to keep gratitude at the forefront, to remember what is precious and worth keeping" Keep it lit 🔥
