I love the late winter. I like to reflect on my past year and appreciate how much has changed for the better. Then I envision my future and build my plans for making them a reality. Bold, brave and above all else, very pleasurable.

It’s just a tad cool here on South Vancouver Island and so I dug out the door cozies to block the drafts from under the doors. They are fairly well sealed but at minus 8 C every little bit helps.
Ruby, however, found a much better use for them.

Christmas Day, 2021
The Sun scatters tiny diamonds,
Casting them wherever She turns her gaze,
Bright lightdrops glitter on the leaves of deep green salal,
Dangle and drip from branches of fir.
And with her long lit fingers, She caresses the snowy ground
where the future sleeps.
It’s a good day to be
Alive to see and feel and sense and touch
And love those that I do, with my whole heart.
