Late last night I was looking for some clear footage of the conjunction (it was cloudy where I was, and I had some difficulty seeing it), and by complete accident, came across this old video of Kim Novak in Big Sur, California. It was so soothing and beautiful, listening to her sing about the tides and the ocean. She also talks about how she thinks of winter as a time of life, because it sets up everything that will bring life in the spring. “Seeds of life are planted in the winter,” she says. This is something reflected in Jane’s recent post about the winter solstice, about “the seed planted in the darkness of winter,” becoming manifest in the next year.

I am greatly inspired by both these women, and finding this video connected them together in such an unexpected and special way.
