Icy winter’s beast, Facing unstoppable change, Embraces new life. A last remnant of Winter, facing the warming of the Spring’s sun and change that cannot be stopped.

Accidental friend, Unable to walk between worlds, Be free beyond me. This was a difficult week. A few weeks ago, this dog came into our lives by accident.

Blanketed in white, A quiet tunnel beckons, The future calling. Typically I would be riding this particular bit of trail but was on foot this visit, enjoying one of our rare snow falls this winter. The sheer beauty of this snowy path against the dark trees spoke to me. I have always loved the idea of…
