To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.”
During the darkest days close to Winter Solstice, we are putting our new birds to sleep in the caravans, and we can definitely confirm that the dark ‘sings’ and ‘is traveled by feathers and feet’ 😊
