I wonder if I should start another December Descent blog this winter ? I cannot explain how frustrating it was to not be able to share the posts as they appeared on the blog as the address could not be found online. I did however put each post on this blog, but it was just not the same, as aesthetically the December blog captured the spirit of December and add that just really worked for me, and only me unfortunately. Also when all the posts are viewed together a clear picture emerges of a growing darkness that finally breaks cover and appears to be named " Catherine " Its funny how keeping a diary of posts regarding a certain subject can illuminate what we would other wise over look. Joining the dots as they say is a good analogy. Its like a filter and I filtered well as I only posted when something really impacted on me.
Several posts were of songs which oddly appealed to me, but captured that bitter sweet month or so. Im going to try and sort out an address or link that works. It was a bit weird as I kept trying different addresses but none would appear when searched for. I was very tired at the time and I got into one of those frantic moods that only blogger can cause when you just get lost in trying to get your blog to look the way you want and adjusting the visuals late at night and messing it up is what Im good at. I'll call it blogger rage...lol
Ive been thinking recently about December coming again and all the stress it causes me. So much just goes wrong around Christmas for me. I made a list in one post and it was ridiculous. There is a darkness that descends here then and I can feel the start of it now outside at tonight. The wind that blows through the trees at night heralding a change in atmosphere, a tightening of tension. The affect is cumulative . Many things are cumulative, and its something rarely mentioned but is so important as the effect of seemingly trivial events are seen in their true nature and with their true gravity. Often others looking on can never see this. As an exercise the blog was more illuminating than I ever could have hoped and I wonder what I may learn this year ?
I think you should do that December Descent blog, sounds interesting. I agree that Christmas is just such a weird time! I like the change in weather from summer to fall, but things do tend to become very stressful at November approaches.
