This morning was a walk through swift falling snow in the dark. For snow weather, it's warm, 32 degrees and the promise of rain later. Here we are, in the weeks between holidays. How do we hang on to them? They fly, they fly! Tonight, a belated Advent candle-lighting. Next weekend, the Christmas boxes come down. I have six weeks with virtually no travel ahead of me, then everything cranks up and the roundabout starts again.

"We are one, after all, you and I'
together we suffer,
together exist,
and forever will recreate each other."
~Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
