During a short cold spell in December 2022 I walked down into and along the valley below the house as far as a tiny north-facing waterfall. The temperature there had probably been below zero for several days and nights and I found frozen water in some of its many forms. These roots, coated in ice, with a hint of fresh growth and renewal, seem to be metaphor for the short dark days of mid-winter that we are currently enduring.
With best wishes for Christmas, the Solstice and the New Year. I hope you are all in good health, and that 2024 is successful and productive. And thanks for continuing to read my blog….!
