#Epiphany

Cartoon of the Nativity scene with a baby glowing in a manger in the foreground and Mary kneeling beside it, hands raised in gratitude. Joseph and a donkey stand by a simple wooden stable on the left. On the right, three smiling women wearing colorful robes approach, carrying practical baby gifts: one holds a box labeled “Diapers,” another carries a tray labeled “Casseroles,” and the third holds a box labeled “Formula.” A speech bubble from Mary says “Perfect!” and text at the top of the image reads, “IF THERE’D BEEN THREE WISE WOMEN INSTEAD.”

Epiphany is also the day for La Befana! The latest in my slightly sinister winter holiday folklore collection: the Italian Christmas witch. La Befana is a witch of Italian folklore who brings sweets & gifts to good children and coal or cinders to bad children on Epiphany Eve. She flies on her broom and comes down the chimney. It’s dangerous to watch her. She’s both grandmotherly and a witch, beloved & ridiculed. 🧵

My 8” x 8” linocut print with 4.5” x 6” printed area in dark blue ink shows La Befana, a crone or which standing on an tiled Italian rooftop by a chimney, carrying a large hamper of toys on her back. She’s wearing a dress with patched apron and patchwork shawl and pointed witch hat. She has scraggly hair, wrinkled face and large eyes that look directly at the viewer. The night sky behind includes stars and crescent moon.

A pastry on a square plate. The pastry is millefeuille-like, with two layers of pastry and two kinds of cream in between. It has the shape of a camel and is decorated with cream, a raspberry and some powdered sugar.

Noise is borrowed. Signal is lived. Force bends us to others’ rules; power flows when we trust our own.

Reflecting today, I noticed how often we listen to noise — the judgments of others — instead of the quiet signal of intuition.

A parent posted here that their child said they “use the embarrassed smile emoji wrong,” and mention they overuse it. But is that true reflection, or just force disguised as feedback?

David Hawkins, in *Power vs. Force*, reminds us that force is external, demanding conformity, while power arises from authenticity.

Even an “overused emoji” isn’t wrong — it’s simply expression. When we stop policing ourselves through borrowed judgments, we reclaim power.

Noise fades. Signal endures. Listen inward.
