In The Midst of Our Drift

Winter sits heavy like a spoon mired in oatmeal, unmoving,bland and monotonous. For those of us in the middle, in the midst of our drift, we approach the drudgery of winter as if we may have to eat oatmeal for months. Eventually, we begin to reflect, renew our senses, and pay homage to the season.We can embrace a vision here and there, take on a forgotten dream, and let the songbirds at the feeder carry us forward.
