Last Thursday evening a lantern walk was scheduled at Grace's school. Every November Grace's Waldorf school has a lantern walk -- a festival of inner light in the outer darkness of the approaching winter. The lantern walk begins by hearing stories and singing songs. As darkness falls the children venture out into the night with their lanterns. They walk along a lit path with glowing luminaries while carrying their lanterns in a mood of quiet reverence. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily the night the lantern walk was scheduled so it was cancelled. Grace brought her lantern home earlier this week and we had our own lantern walk around our house!
This picture of Grace holding her lantern was taken just before she led us outside.
Grace led us all around our house carrying her lantern all while sweetly singing.

I've never seen a girl with more inner light than Grace. She is a shining star in all the land. Grace glows. I find her captivating to watch and learn from as she grows and spreads her light onto this world. She has all ready made me a better person.
Love, Maddy
ps...what a peaceful and spiritual way to celebrate winter
