I look upon the winter season (now that I live in North) as a time to turn inward, read (as you mention here, Mary) and contemplate and think ahead to the season of things growing outside. I look out on the snow covered Land and image the seeds of the next season warmly wrapped in the dark moist earth. <br />Your book sounds interesting and I will probably check it out. I notice in the Blog <br />http://kerrdelune.blogspot.com/<br />that she is reading a book called Dawn Light by Diane Ackerman .. It looks interesting.

The cold weather definately does not help matters as going outside into the warmth of sunshine has always been something that has lifted me.... I miss the sun during this time and yearn for its more frequent return as well as the warmer temperature...glad to hear you have a good book.... stay warm...Mother Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766732525579692530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795332554006054086.post-70294456934140668442010-01-02T18:55:04.055-05:002010-01-02T18:55:04.055-05:00Yes, I feel the post-Xmas letdown too.

Oh yes, 'tis...Thank you for the lovely poem...<br /><br />Oh yes, 'tis the season for that "in the dumps" feeling. Just look around Blog Land. <br /><br />Maybe the people who thought up "The 12 Days of Christmas" had something there.
