Hermit in Winter
Yesterday and today it was too cold to walk at my usual morning hour. 1 below zero yesterday and 1 above today. So I waited until afternoon when it warmed up to 20!
I had a glorious walk yesterday in brilliant sunshine. This is one of many pictures that I took. I have liked this great tree for years and had never got a picture of it that I liked. This one works, partly because of the redwood shed. I have said before that I feel a little guilty enjoying the snow so much when it is a danger, or at least an inconvenience, to many people.
Today I felt the cold more on my cheeks and nose (that's all that's exposed.) The temperature was the same 20 degrees as yesterday, but a raw wind was picking up out of the east. I was still aware of all the beauty around me. Walking makes me feel more alive. It is a little like centering prayer on the move.
