We got 10 inches on Wednesday. I tried to take some photos, but it was so cold and the wind was fierce.
The other photos are ones I took last evening, at twilight.
Here's a poem from Jeff Hardin that really stays with me:
ACCUMULATIONS by Jeff Hardin
Arriving too late, too mindful or not enough,
I’ve never been present in the present tense.
Like the soul’s breath, if it exists, it drifts
out of view. How many echoes emerge from
one echo, each in turn adding to the sum?
Maybe nothing is ever subtracted—we carry
these accumulations. A shiver of willow leaves
accelerates through its shadows, an endlessness
of infinities the sun’s presence intensifies, lightens,
erases momentarily, then reinvents somewhere
farther along the grass. I am someone other
than the someone other I might have become
had I remained who I was a moment before.
The fullness I find is still a version of emptiness.
I carry it with me everywhere, remaining nowhere.
