Look who was in my mailbox!

Cute little guy

Merry Christmas to All

Time standing still

The equinox

when time was once thought to stand still

Listen to the sound of winter in this choral piece

Nox Aurumque by Eric Whitacre.

The text in translation:

NOX AURUMQUE
Gold,Tarnished and dark,Singing of night,Singing of death,Singing itself to sleep.And an angel dreams of sunrise,And war.
Tears of the ages.O shield!O gilded blade!You are too heavy to carry,Too heavy for flight.
Gold,Tarnished and weary,Awaken!Melt from weapon to wing!Let us soar again,High above this wall;Angels reborn and rejoicing with wings madeOf dawn,Of gold,Of dream.
Gold,Singing of wings,Singing of shadows.
