The Earth turns, the sun recedes and the blanket of night descends
like the closing of a coffin lid.
Light and dark, night and day, black and white, right and wrong, alive, dead, pretending.
It’s all relative, isn’t it?

I woke this morning to a deep stillness, as though a heavy blanket wrapped the world.
Indeed, the night had brought a blanket of fresh snow. A look out my kitchen window showed my garden to be snuggled beneath a thick layer of Next Year’s Life.
Time to suit up, clean off the car and hit the road!
The Cold River seemed oddly warm in its new finery:
That one’s for you, Cuz.
As I drove through the muffled grayness, patches of blue scuttled by overhead and occasional wind squalls turned the trees’ burdens into sudden blizzards.
Feels like a good time to head home and make a big pot of soup!
