light in darkness


Sancta Lucia today. I'm always Lucia to my family no matter what. When my father was still alive I used to bike across town in the darkness to surprise him with Lucia bread waking him up with my song (though singing is not one of my talents!). Today I surprised someone else. We need light and nice traditions at this dark time of the year.

I read about St. Lucia last night, from another blog... it is a sweet tradition, the candles so symbolic... it occurs to me that you are playing a different kind of super hero here--the story about her is so juxtaposed between a lovely girl in white dress with light, and sweets=and then the brutality too behind her desire to love, to be a hero in another way. Its a large cultural icon.

Enjoy the holiday. Stay light.
