8 December Namnsdag Vera
(sojourn- a moment to pause in comfort)

Grandfather visits my backdoor. He is a wise relative of the hudra-folk.

These are the last days of the old cycle. We honor our kindred, review our lessons, reflect. For a moment longer we pause, look inward. Soon we will step onto the bridge, then we will turn our gaze to the new, set our intentions giving motion to the next.
