Snow, cold, gray…  yeah, winter finally reared up.  We knew it was coming, and still we react as if somehow traumatized by the reality of nature’s harshness.

Life is like that. 

Winter is just around the corner, and with winter comes an inordinate amount of darkness.  Until late December the days will continue to get shorter, the sun will ride lower in the sky, and the temptation to go into hibernation will afflict us all.
