Winter Wonderland

"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a lightness in the mere darkness of being" -Carl Jung

The thing that I wonder about winter is: where is it? The sun shines, the ground is thawed, so the holiday season has really had its way of sneaking up on me. It's like I got knocked on the head sometime in September and just woke up now.

Since I can't find my snowboard, I suppose this weather suits me fine (although I WOULD like to build the biggest igloo). Today we welcome ample darkness as it is the shortest day of the year. All the better to burn candles. Strange though. It's only three sleeps until Christmas. The time draws near!
