Winter Is Here
A Tale Inspired By The Painting 'Winter' by Edgar Ende, 1938
Introduction
I love this image of winter that I found on The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here:
The music is "White Winter Hymnal" by The Fleet Foxes
Winter Is Here
She is carrying water through a wilderness. The trees have no leaves. They fell in autumn.
The pillar has no chain. Was some creature of the Winter God tethered there? Who knows. The sky is white, like a great swan; other strange black shadow birds fly above the lady, to warmer climes.
She walks in the land forever, impervious to the cold, carrying her bowl to a friend in need of sustenance.
Her journey has a focus, but no end.
She is a white walker in the white snow-covered realm of Winter.
No flowers grow here, and no animals run; only the black migrating birds while the Winter Swan looks on, over this white world.

Goeiemorgend, Luister Naar De Draaien
Introduction I found this beautiful image on Debbie's Magical Brew below. I thought Goeiemorgend was the artist and "Luister naar de kraaien" was the name of the painting, but Goeiemorgend means "Good Morning" and "Luister naar de kraaien" means Listen To The Crows.

Why Should Living Have So Many Hobbies In It
When we live life do we think about how we should go about doing it or do we just do it? When you live, how do we do it? We sleep, we eat, we move our bodies, and that is what life is all about. The question is why should living have so many hobbies? We all know that having hobbies in life is a good thing because it is a way for us to relax and do things we enjoy. Sometimes we can do these things on our own and have some alone time and other times we can bring people with us and do it as a group. This all depends on the hobbies that we are doing and what we want out of them. Living the life that we want to live has so many hobbies because it makes how we live life worth it. The more we do the hobbies we enjoy in the way we live our lives the more we will get out of life through the hobbies we do. Living has hobbies to give life the variety that it does so that we are all uniquely different and so that we can get so much more out of life.
