Ballet x
Leonore Baulac, Stephane Bullion
Ice skating with someone you love, clinging onto them. Rosy cheeks. Frost on your eyelashes. Winter winds. Freezing hands. The crackling under your feet when you walk on the snow. Long socks. Elegant coats paired with mittens and scarves. Frozen landscapes. Feeling the cold air in your chest as you breath in. Those sunny days when you feel a little more awake.
Something I really love about Norway is that winter almost feels like an eternal night. We have some sunny mild winter days, but most days I see the moon and stars when I wake up and the sun has already set by the time I get home in the afternoon. The snow covers everything and sparkles under the moonlight, it's almost magical. We have these winter lights put up all over the country, they look like fairylights, just to brighten up the winter.
“What is a queen without her king?” I don’t know, but let’s ask Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, Sammuramat, Victoria, Elizabeth, Amina, Tzu-hsi and the countless other kingless queens who turned mere kingdoms into the greatest of Empires.

Perhaps we love those who remind us most of our favorite poems.
