Shadow and Light
The unseasonably warm weather is worrisome. I can be anxious and be thinking of ways to adjust the garden to optimize the circumstances and simultaneously just enjoy the upsides—such as this morning’s outrageous sunrise.

Holiday Weekend
Thank you a lot for providing
Remarkably special possibility
Always so brilliant and
Packed with amusement
To study the new secrets
At all times fulfilled
With remarkable principles
Completely the most suitable
We have all ever had
That would contradict
The affirmation they
Would make of beliefs.
Today’s snow was a soft and beautiful one. Mostly, though, people were complaining that it was still snowy and cold.
With camera in hand this morning, I thought that to have more when we have already had too much makes it hard to appreciate the intrinsic good of a thing. I enjoyed this snow as a reminder of how moderation can enhance pleasure.
I then surrendered to the fact of the snow and to its beauty, letting go of my preference for spring mildness.
