Winter lately
has seemed to be
seeping through the cracks of my home,
bringing inside with it
a feeling
of
brittle, crouching tightness.

I am reminded
by a gift and a dear one
to remember
what is important
and to forgive
the forgetting
when I do.

Enjoying a day
of Seattle's annual
February False Spring
before March arrives.

Another all-instrumental mix of music
(a companion piece to this one)

It's dreamy
and quiet
and I've been listening to it almost non-stop.

In recent days
I have been left feeling quite
raw
and wrung out.


I bedecked this frame
with leaves fallen from my ivy
because I'd gotten used to it
in my kitchen there,
and ceased to see it,
when right now, for me
it actually holds
the precise advice I need.
