starfrostingMy boyfriend left to drive down to North Carolina at 6 this morning, and I fell back asleep to a scary dream where a small black bear + another one wandered through my house, my mom and I creeping carefully away into a vacant room while I worried about Nellie and Tinno's safety. It was no Blueberries for Sal. And then I woke up an hour later alone in the big bed to start my day for real.

I've been thinking lately that it helps to recognize that we are part of the Earth that's moving into winter, that we're wintering too not just enduring bleak cold New York days that stretch into steely slushy months. The sky right now is piercing cold blue outside the drawn shades facing south towards the Chrysler building. Last night when I took Critter for a walk, the moon was hanging low and fat in the sky, a sailess hull cutting through the sky.

Date: 2007-12-17 08:52 pm (UTC)Well...when I was in Dublin, the winter was so mild that my experience of that chunk of time was really textured by the relative warmth and mildness. I guess because I personally don't have a "winter mode" so much as a certain kind of sharp awareness of how the world around me is changing in that season, I soaked up sunlight and lots of rainy glare and didn't notice any particular change in my mood (though, then again, being there and being displaced in some sense from all sorts of familiar worldly textures affected my well enough, so I don't know)
