every moment.

Posted on January 12, 2020 by beth

after experiencing

every kind of spring/fall/winter weather front

in the span of a single whirlwind of a day

there is new light

in the early morning

with

a quiet dusting of snow on the ground

clouds in the sky

streaks of blue

and

a moon hanging high

we’ll try again.

—

‘every moment of light and dark is a miracle.’

-walt whitman

Love this Beth. Let’s try again.
We had a messy day here yesterday as well, weather wise.

So lovely, Beth. Not what we are having here, today. The day is monochrome and freezing rain with wind gusts… Definitely hoping for better tomorrow.

This sure has been one heck of a January, Beth. Our greeting today has come from a howling wind to follow yesterday’s 60s.

In Oregon, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute. Unless, of course, it’s been raining for a week. 🙂
