Beautifully written. I had not heard of Chandler O’Leary before now. We’ve just moved to the Northernmost Southern Gulf Island here in on the West coast of Canada. I’ll be picking up her “Island Time” book soon, thank you.

What a beautiful post, and I am so startled and saddened to learn this news about Chandler O’Leary. I've been a fan of hers for years, and a recipient of her occasional notes via her mailing list. It seems like just a week or two ago she was happily announcing events for her new book. So very, very sad.

There's so much here to ponder on, Anna, thank you. I was just writing about light and darkness in my journal, and then I read your post, which resonated deeply.

What a compelling "prompt" - definitely more of an inspiration. In fact, the only word I can think of to describe the essence of your post is "voluptuous." Thank you! I look forward to reading more of your Creative Fuel.

So lovely, Anna. Thank you. There's much here to ponder and muse upon. I was so sorry to hear of Chandler's passing. And at such a young age. How to wrestle with it all? i was struck by the thought that her name means candle maker/seller and that seemed so very apt. I am so grateful for your writing and all that you share with us.
