Description
A girl holds a lantern on a snowy, chilly night. A full moon hovers in a starry sky. The moon and lantern light shimmer with iridescence.This piece was painted in honor of our children's schools and educators, and modeled after the Lantern Walk Festival held at Waldorf Schools and celebrations of Martinmas, and based on a cold and icy Colorado night in October or November. Let your light shine!
..............................................................................................................................
The Martinmas celebration is inspired by old customs honoring St. Martin. As the sun sets earlier and rises later, the world grows darker and the inner light of humankind wants to shine forth. Children and parents gather as the sun sets. Handmade lanterns, often decorated with stars, suns, and moons, are lit as a symbol for the children of their own individual light. And our walk into the cold, dark evening gives the children and their families an experience of caring and sharing as we move toward the darkness of winter.
..............................................................................................................................
Children are even as a branch that is fresh and green; they will grow up in whatever way you train them. Take the utmost care to give them high ideals and goals, so that once they come of age, they will cast their beams like brilliant candles on the world. Bahaullah

Glimmer Lantern Glimmer, a Lantern Walk Song
Glimmer, lantern, glimmer
Little stars a-shimmer
Over meadow, moor and dale
Flitter, flutter, elfin veil
Pee-wit, pee-wit, tikka-tikka-tik
Rucoo, rucoo.
Glimmer, lantern, glimmer
Little stars a-shimmer
Over rock and stock and stone
Wandering, skipping, little gnome
Pee-wit, pee-wit, tikka-tikka-tik
Rucoo, rucoo.

I Go Outside With My Lantern, song
I go outside with my lantern, my lantern goes with me
Above the stars are shining bright, down here on Earth shine we.
The cock does crow, the cat meows, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom.
Neath heavens dome till we go home, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom.
I go outside with my lantern, my lantern goes with me
Above the stars are shining bright, down here on Earth shine we.
So shine your light through the still dark night, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom
Neath heavens dome till we go home, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom.
