Winter Forest Alchemy Alchemy
Winter Forest Alchemy: An alchemy of woodland depths and homeward light. Snow dusted evergreens and fallen oak leaves, blue juniper berries, the earthbound stillness of oakmoss and green patchouli, and a fleeting glint of ruby red cranberry amid the wintry boughs invite an exploration of forested mysteries while woodsmoked vanilla, the spice-musk of bayberry, and fresh baked gingerbread beckon homeward like the glow of a distant hearth.
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
~ Winter Trees by William Carlos Williams, 1921
Art: Forest in Winter by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1926
