Contentment in Winter
Hard Knocks Wisdom
by Douglas "Wookie" Mareks
by j. mccurdy
Most people around me lookat winter as a depressing time,
after the holidays that is.
some call it the “Winter Blues.”
Some call it the “Holiday Backlash.”
Some just get depressed by the lack of sunlight
In the end
We’re
All responsible
For
The decisions we make
And
The state
We’re
In...
That being said
I think
Accountability
Its partner,
Responsibility
Are
The
Sexiest
Couple
I’ve
Ever seen...
But whatever you call it,
I don’t feel it.
I look at this time as a
time of reflection.
I rejoice that I made it through
another year..
Sure I still hate the rain (all the time),
and rejoice on a truly sunny day.
So that is how I stay content
all thru the year.
I look at the non-corporeal things:
my health, my friends and relationships.
Meet Me Last
by M att Dewart
M y n a m e p re c e d e s m e
into the world.
Louder is the blunt
truth, missing,
till we meet
eye to eye
face to face
smile to smile
and like you am
warm-blooded, kind
and human!
