a visit to Bow Street Flowers

 Hey friends, your local indie florist is a great place for holiday shopping. 

You'll feel like you walked into a secret garden spa.

Bow Street Flowers has soaps, candles,

ornaments (I got an elephant for the elephant-lover in my life)

sweet containers of paperwhites....

and of course flowers. A fresh bouquet might not be practical (under the tree and all that),

but a gift certificate is,

or a dark days of January surprise.

Also, another book gift idea: A Year With Rumi, Daily Readings.

These Lights

Inside water, a waterwheel turns,
A star circulates with the moon.

We live in the night ocean, wondering,
What are these lights?
