Mid-Winter Break
Ma Nature has given us a nice break these past few days as our weather has slowly returned to winter-normal.
There seems to be about an hour more of light in the evenings than there was a month ago. The days still seem short. Our sleep-cycle has adjusted so that we sleep until dawn--an event which will get pushed into the earlier hours as the year spools up for summer.
We are still in the doldrums of the year, a time of sluggish currents and languid tides. To be able to surrender to this lull is a luxury of retirement.
