New Icon!

I've been playing with a bunch of pictures of ice palaces, trying to find one that I can use as an icon. This one's probably the best of the bunch. It looks like a collection of pillar candles, but yes, it's really an ice palace, illuminated at night.

See? Isn't it magical?

Cheers,
Peg

Re: The War's Beginning

At the exact moment that Bush's ultimatum to Saddam Hussein came to an end, I was at my church for the beginning of the Lenten service. We use the Holden Evening Service, written by Marty Haugen. I could feel tears rolling down my face as we sang the evening hymn, about coming together at the peaceful close of the day, about how the light shines out in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.

I think that the Writer's Almanac poem for today was well-chosen.

With a heavy heart,
