Welcome to Quiet Note .04

In this space, where calm moments meet inspiration, my hope is that these notes bring you a sense of peace, thoughtful reflection, and a gentle reminder to find beauty in the quiet.

Lovely Words

I first encountered this heartwarming passage during one of my favourite holiday films, Prancer.

It stirs nostalgia and evokes heartwarming emotion, speaking to the innocence of childhood wonder and the belief in things unseen—like Santa Clause. It offers a glimpse into the beauty and joy that faith, love, and generosity bring to our lives.

Even in the face of doubt, this message reassures us that the spirit of Christmas will continue to warm hearts for generations to come.

Enjoy ♡

“... Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life it's highest beauty and joy.”

— Francis Pharcellus Church, New York Sun September 21, 1897

“You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”
