A winter aspect. (Or view through the bathroom window).

Then ceases for a time and holds the Earth again ‘neath that crisp concealment.

Thanks Liam McArthur for taking up my suggestion x

A pagan is to address the Scottish parliament in a historic day for druids, witches and shamans. A druid ­will deliver Time for Reflection in major step towards mainstream recognition for paganism.
