I opened all the windows got all the pets out of the house and I sat outside on the patio after resetting everything and waiting to make sure they all stayed off.

We are very reliant on this stove for heat in the downstairs of the house.

Anyway its cold w/o and I look like this now.

Put my creepers on for the morning because wet snow is already icing up.

Getting the dogs out is treacherous without them.

This is a sad, and weirdly soothing way too late first snow.

But at least its here now.

“With the vast fierceness of your unified burning life, they will be enkindled: with the flames of your blazing charity, they will be irradiated”

The medieval mystic I needed for the burning moment.

When a dear friend who has done you much kindness- but you’ve fallen out of touch the past several years - sends you a proof of her new novel and tells you to look at the dedication

Tonight’s reading

We are working on Eckhart in our study group and considering Rabbi Heschel next

So @revdrmatthewfox.bsky.social is the perfect text for the moment and the general spirit of the era

Bits of Hafez circle in my brain:

You could become a great horseman
And help to free yourself and this world

It is a naive man who thinks we are not Engaged in a fierce battle,
For I see and hear brave foot soldiers
All around me

And carry your heart through this world

Like a life-giving sun
