As I twirl around for the brief and short inspiration I seek I turn to the window to see the second snow of the year. Twirling snowflakes belated as they are form a landscape of known signs of a winter we thought lost Alas! ’tis here as always Drinking coffee and listening to Spanish news…

the 29th/6 2015. 12ºC or 53.6ºF. Gray. Usually I reserve my merino wool shirts for the winter days. Yet am drawn to them still. That is, I find the need to wear them because I haven’t moved enough to feel heat become burdensome. Not that it will or promise to be. Even when I was…
