Full Wolf Moon
The Full Wolf Moon hangs high in the sky, hidden behind cloud cover. It casts a ring of ice crystals, giving it a gem in a circular setting look. The moon light suffuses the sky giving a bluish cast to the snow as it filters through the clouds.
Another busy day. Tomorrow I preach at Groveland. Preaching may not convey quite what I do. If you read any of the presentations/sermons on the Liberal Religion page, you’ll get a better sense of what happens. I love the prep and the writing, the delivery adds a feedback dimension that I find valuable.
The winter sits with its full weight upon the land here. Snow covers the garden. The deciduous trees have no leaves. The air freezes in the nostrils and makes layers necessary. Growth stopped; but the plant world has not died. It only waits, gathering strength, making itself ready.
Winter has a somber tone, the weather serious and sometimes unrelenting. A Minnesota winter can kill you, so you have to pay attention. That makes it worthwhile. Like climbing a volcano.
