Winter has dug in its heels here in Quebec too. It can be beautiful in January and February, but by late March, most of us are done. Until spring weather arrives, I look for signs - a robin, geese returning - to remind me that it won't be long now. As for the larger context of this winter of our global discontent, we can only hope there are better times ahead.

We need the winter to remind us of how precious spring is. How new beginnings and awakenings are such treasures of every minute. Beautiful piece.

Running to another country. Running for office. Yes and yes; my thoughts too. But I'm no spring chicken. Thus, I'm hoping the youngins will step up. No ageism intended, but by & large, the oldsters in political office need to pass the baton. What we're facing requires energy...fresh perspectives.

Ye, this too shall come to pass…but it’s impossible not to think what will remain after the blizzards and bitter winds have subsided

I’m afraid some storm damage has already been done.
