Out in the cold



All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J.R.R. Tolkien
(1892-1973)

There is peace and rest and comfort in sorrow.
Søren Kierkegaard
(1813-1855)

But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.
Alan Watts
(1915-1973)

I L-O-V-E those Tolkien words. I've written them down and they are going to be my new favorite quote. The others are also inspiring; as is that magnificent photo. Thanks!

Hi Kenda,
Sounds like you are hibernating. Glad to hear from you today though. Don't forget to send an email, post, smoke signal, etc if you need anything at all:)

Stunning image, as always. Just stopping by to say "hi." How are your words coming? The photos of the reflected lights quite took my breath away!

The leaf is beautiful, and even when it feels the frost and bitter cold and its disconnection from the tree - it still manages to bring joy to others.
