Winter Minutes Apart

The settling-in season: a time to appreciate the frost patterns on the window, the warm cup of tea at night, candles in the twilight, the dogs settling into their nests, quiet reading, feeling the pulse of spring underneath, ever present........
Advent Time

It was -12F this morning~

Hope has two lovely daughters. Anger, to not let what should not be, be. Courage, to make what should be, be. A variant from St. Augustine.

Renewal

I found a quote by Pearl Buck: "

I love people. I love my family, my children . . . but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up.

To go to that alone place of grounding is why we teach our children and grandchildren how to skip rocks.
