Good afternoon friends! Grim and sunless skies this morning above ground slimy and grey – snow quickly forming a dense, perilous slurry as it half-melts, half merges into the ice beneath. Each footstep made a slow wet grinding creak as I picked my way through a suddenly treacherous landscape of half-visible hazards. The thermometer reads a little higher but the cold is heavier, more penetrating.

Another day to be spent mostly under a blanket, not totally drained but very sore, and feeling myself teetering on a precise of abject exhaustion.

May we address ourselves and each other with compassionate honesty today!
