We’re sitting under a snowfall warning today in my corner of western Canada, and while my original plan this week was to send out a lyrical essay on plants and poetry, today feels like a day to explore the poetics of winter.
Oh I'm glad to hear that. I find that winter (for me) is always a quiet invitation to draw into silence and I love that's what these poems brought you.
Beautiful Raine. Beautiful. A stillness and a silence that draws me inward despite the sun that shines outside and draws me outward (I live in Australia.) Many beautiful blessings to you.
Your winter poems draw me into silence. And that's what I want today. Thank you.

Yes, thank you! That's kind of what I was envisioning as I wrote it.

A much different time of year! I'm glad that this brought a little of winters peace all the way across the world to you.
Raine, your writings always bring me some kind of heart healing and peace. Thank you. x
