A wordsmiths pearl, retrieved with permission from the blog of Penelope Wilcock, well known writer and author.  Pen was crafting “winteriness” in her writing last year, and these words read to me as a blessing;  I asked to share them with you, so you can pass the blessing onward.  From the Frost Collection - a limited palette which is all about word and colour as texture: pillowing snow, crystalline fields, ice-cracking cold:  wintry emissaries of your Christmastide greetings.
