First -- the video. I watched it on my laptop, zooming in to get a really good look at the frost. the details fascinated me so much I had to watch it again, and then again. I felt like I was in a favorite science class. Thank you for that!
Second-- the poem. I find it hard to believe you wrote and posted this on the same day. Please tell me this is revision #28! It is so good. The diction and imagery simultaneously delight and inform. I mean... these lines!:
"to find us,
born
not as accidents
but artifacts
of the sublime"
💛
The turn is smooth as an icy surface and the last two stanzas speak to one of life's critical questions.
Angela, your poem is truly astonishing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
And happy birthday!!!
Thank you, dearest Fotini!
Wow!

Stellar work.
Kim, thank you.
That hoarfrost is soo beautiful and delicate—it crumbles if you touch it. We don’t see it very often as it’s usually too warm and wet for it to form.
The poem—I am grateful it spoke to you. I try to write a new poem on my birthday, which yesterday was. Thank you for appreciating it. 💛💛💛
I really enjoyed that! <3<3
