A Howdah is a seat or platform for
sitting upon an elephant.
" You empower them a little bit,
they empower you. It’s all a battle
against the futility and the
existential loneliness!
It may be that we are
all huddled together
around the fire and
trying to fight off that
sense of the inevitable.
That’s what we do
for one another. "
Bruce Springsteen,
in the New Yorker 30 Jul2012
Sky Pearl in Fiery Setting
" We are fed a steady
diet of superficiality.
Spruce up your character
instead of your wardrobe. "
Jessica Hagy
I'll build a stairway to paradise
"When one door closes,
another opens,
but often we look so long
at the closed door
that we do not see
the one that has opened
for us”
Helen Keller

I've always enjoyed sitting around a fire, even all by myself. Funny you mention around the fireside, because the very living tree in my living room right now, shall give back my ornaments, slowly of course, and then- "My plans this year, are to set in in the center of our fire pit. To be lit once our weather becomes a bit more tolerable!"
That Keller statement really speaks to me. Have a great Sunday, Cloudia.
How I love your skies. And your words of inspiration.
