Two feet. That is how much snow is now on the ground in the Twin Cities area. I found this figure on the Twin Cities National Weather Service website. I previously had been praying for a spring that comes soon and does not resemble the one we had last year. Now it's probably best the spring come on slowly; a flash spring with sudden warm temperatures could cause such sudden melting of the snowpack that serious flooding could result.
I completed a half-day in listening training at the Basilica of St. Mary today. I enjoyed the course and look forward to completing the formal training portion next Saturday. I found myself a bit tired at the end of the training. It's actually more of a weariness I feel today. I am weary of winter. At least the days continue to lengthen. It's 6 p.m. now and light still fills the sky.
I feel as if I have hit a bit of a dry, cold spell in my writing as well. Maybe I need to take a break sooner rather than later. Perhaps my grief is beckoning me inward to engage in a period of deeper contemplation and reflection. In practicing my own self-care it is wise to attend to cues such as these.
