Mid-Winter Sentiments

Mid-Winter Sentiments

The sun came for a visit to Wisconsin yesterday. I spent the afternoon studying shadows – many forms of shadows, both those I could see, and those I could only feel.

The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination.  ~Ward Elliot Hour

This quotation is so true. When I look out from my window, I mostly see my neighborhood dressed in winter’s white, and rather a worn white it is this far into the season. I find I turn inward and let my imagination soar.  I imagine beyond what I can see, and take myself on many pleasant trips as I write.

The Blue of the Moon

The hermit doesn’t sleep at night, in love with the blue of the vacant moon. The cool of the breeze that rustles the trees rustles him too. ~ Ching-An

I wonder if the hermit had insomnia. I spend too much of the night listening to the rustling trees. And I love the blue of the moon, too.

The Place to be on a Winter’s Day

When it is wet and blowing snow outside, one of the best possible places to take shelter?

The neighborhood library.

It’s a lot easier to be lost than found.  It’s the reason we’re always searching, and rarely discovered — so many locks, not enough keys. ~ from Lock and Key by Sarah Dressen
