Gorgeous!

The title made me expect deception, but the poem gives us something gentler: light bending the rules so the day can hold one more small discovery. I especially liked the berries as “a handful of rubies” and the quiet realization that this is only one of many firsts still waiting. A simple moment, but full of wonder.

I love your comments on these, thank you!! Yes, this has been a time of changing expectations and what I'm used to...I suppose the light is sort of symbolic of that too.

So beautiful. The burgeoning longing is so subtly expressed

I’m so delighted that I’m getting to experience Finland for the first time vicariously through you. This was a beautiful way for me to land there. ❤️❤️
