winter passing


It's a rainy, blustery winter day here in Seattle, a nice day to stay indoors with the heat turned on and a cup of hot coffee, watching the drops splashing against the windows.

This is the time of year when people of the Salish Sea used to repair to their long lodges for the round dances.

It's blustery outside but quiet in my heart today. The clock ticks contentedly, telling me the world is at peace, despite the fact that many humans as well as other creatures continue suffering dreadfully, and I feel for them.

Painting by Poulsbo artist Robin Weiss.

Oops. sorry. Robin is a he, not a she. Robin always sounds feminine to me.
