hallow's eve

I am the silent night's heartbeat,
A shadow in a winding-sheet.

-from The Pagan Book of Hours


a number of years ago, i had an idea to make an illuminated book of hours for pagans, matching each of the holidays in the wheel of the year with each of the classic monastic hours. i had visions of a little hand-made book, filled with lush art and simple poems.

i haven't made that yet, but i still have hopes.

in the meantime, the couplet above is the one i wrote for hallows (compline, the day completed).
