Snow January 11 at the Pond

It's still here and so very beautiful. This morning I'm giving myself the treat of opening the curtains so I can sit here and see the winter wonderland. Yesterday I had trouble staying warm so kept them closed. Today I've got on plenty of clothes and turned the furnace thermostat up and arranged my two space heaters so that it's toasty. I'm set for the next few days of cold! What a break this is! So much of the world just stops that we do too, at least for a short while. Most of us can't stand it so we do stuff anyway. But, not the same stuff. After yesterday switching from one thing to another all day long doing stuff, today I hope to just be with it. I've already done two meditation sessions, one in my chair and one on the floor on the zabuton and zafu cushions (Thanks, Jim). Today, I intend to simply be with this beauty and be beautiful along with it. Already I'm a bit saddened thinking that it will be gone soon - even though it's not likely to melt completely for several days. My camera and I will enjoy watching the changes. I'm posting a few more. And I've begun an album on facebook.
