To honor the solstice and because the girls feel that
darkness gets a bad rap this time of year, the Paradise family has been making
a list of “what we love about the darkness”:
1. stillness
2. without it, we can’t see the stars
3. Lucy’s gorgeous hair
4. helps us use the senses beyond the visual
5. chocolate
6. mystery
7. knowing that everyone else is getting ready to
sleep too. Everyone we know is tucked in too.
8. helps us be brave
9. best sleeps ever
10. Christmas lights
11. knowing that the sun is up in China – we’re
just taking turns, really
12. full
moon hikes / snow shoes
