Outside my window this November morning, the temperature has hit a cozy 17 degrees, and I am dreaming of someplace warmer in January or February, hoping this time we CAN follow the Monarchs south, that ill health or family commitment will not interfere this year. But now, the Blake quote and that beautiful Zen statement, and your entire post all help me realize that if we cannot go south this year, if we cannot shake loose the commitments we have to ourselves and those we love, that we can cherish the warmth where we are. And I’m still hoping you will one day publish your meditations.
