Quotography: Winter


“Nature looks dead in winter 
her life is gathered into her heart.  
She withers the plant down to the root 
that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger.  
She calls her family together within her inmost home 
to prepare them for being scattered abroad 
upon the face of the earth.”
~Hugh Macmillan, "Rejuvenescence," 
The Ministry of Nature, 1871~

I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
