Believe in your own magic. The creativity of the natural world inspires and empowers us, so make art or keep beautiful things close to you in your life and you hold the pulse of that raw earth power. Know that the world is full of a lovely & terrible duality, and that all creatures embody it.
I want to do a whole series of mysterious things in jars, inspired by my daddy's laboratory and all the days spent in dark dusty research labs. My sister, who is a marine biologist, loved the poem so much she thought it should be our family christmas song from now on. She has a soft spot for cephalopods, and I have a soft spot for strange creatures in jars. Our dad mostly just likes jars. I will be offering Christmas cards later this fall with the poem inside. Make it part of your holiday!
