The Farmer’s Almanac was his Bible
It was going to be a harsh winter
the polar vortex
stopped by for a visit
seems an appropriate end
to the month of January
somedays
Somedays I am the Flowers,
Somedays I am the Rain

acceptance
To accept whatever comes, regardless of the consequences, is to be unafraid or to be full of that love which comes from a sense of at-oneness with whatever . . . In other words there is no split between spirit and matter. And to realize this, we have only suddenly to awake to the fact. I have noticed it happens and when it does it partakes of the miraculous.
~ John Cage “Juilliard Lecture” in A Year from Monday (1952)
There were signs
but it seems
spring is just not ready for us yet.
tis..
May you take time
to celebrate the quiet miracles
that seek no attention.
May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven
around the heart of wonder.
~ John O’Donohue
from “For Presence”
