Midwinter


Once you traveled the world,
Lived in a tent in Africa,
Worked on a farm in New Zealand,
Bicycled through Eastern Europe.

Once you owned little and knew people who owned less.

Now you have come to Canaan. Your feet are firmly planted. From your soles have sprouted a garden, a home, children, chicks and calves.


Of eight sisters, you alone have a winter birthday.

In the chill of midwinter, you sense a promise of new life.

What lovely sentiments. And to think, I was bemoaning the fact that my adventurous days are over. I suppose I was just looking too large. The adventure is in the promise of spring. Bring on the seed catalogs.
