Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

     I'm trying.  I try to believe this every year.  It is so cold and snowy.  It seems like we only get 2 seasons here.....summer and winter.....and I want to experience some autumns, some springs. It is just some early season cabin fever, I imagine, and will pass when we get some sunshine. Meanwhile, I am trapped in a snow-globe.




“There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”


― Alfred Wainwright, A Coast to Coast Walk
