January Thaw
It was a somber Holiday season for many of us. Every carol seemed a rebuke and the lights were dimmer in the wake of the Newtown killings. Here at home we dug out from under two snowstorms while our hearts and attention were focused on family matters. January invites a winter state of mind, one of reflection and observation of the piercing beauty that comes with the cold.
...and we wait for the sun and signs of a thaw.
