Winter

The wind is absolutely howling outside, joined by pounding rain. I am so glad that it is winter wind and not fall. As beautiful as fall is - I hate it right now. I hate the thought of coming into winter but am eternally grateful for being in winter right now.

Stopped and dead, except for wind and rain. Everything is stopped and dead.

I can do stopped and dead right now. I can't do full of life.

I can do protect yourself from the elements. I can't do embrace the world.

I want to do shut up and pull a touque over my eyes and ears. I want to hide in winter and make everyone else shut up too. Pack your mouths with snow.

I think that winter in its starkness is nice. It's not my favorite season here but we don't get the snow. So I'm going to enjoy these low humidity and cool days. Really energizing in many ways.

I gotta agree with you, winter is the darkest months for me... I suspect I would be fine, if but for the sunshine that it lacks.
