Well, there’s been plenty of fiddling around going on here for a few days now. Pun intended. Unfurling, unwinding, upward reaching, light seeking, root sinking, holy water sipping, twirling, curling, asking, knowing, curving and growing. It’s a good season.
Speaking of seasons, it’s delightfully cold here! I am enchanted! I love all the seasons for divine little reasons, but winter holds a special place in my heart. Lately, it is bright, sunny and frigid every day here. The sunsets have been fully exposed which makes for the most spectacular alpenglow on the peaks at the South end of the valley every single night. When the sun is going down, more often than not, I am running with the dogs up the side of Red Hill, above the University. I am swaddled in layers of merino wool and fleece lined tights. I cannot feel my fingers usually and my cheeks are burned red with cold. Sometimes there are frost clumps growing on my eyelashes and eyebrows. My breath billows white. When I see the sun setting over my valley and the snow bearing mountains lighting up neon pink I feel a thousand alleluias swoop through my soul. It. Is. So. Good. My, how I love to have a good gallop.
What about you? Where have your feet taken you lately and what beauty have you seen?
