A morning walk in the garden reveals the witch hazel’s celebration.
Red ribbons in the February snow.
Meantime, deep inside this 300-year-old minka in the mountains …
The stone hearth warms.
Fire and Snow Meditation in a Japanese Minka
Beneath the snow
A redness of rejoicing.
In the stone’s enfolding
An inner fire’s glow.

Reminds me of the Camus quote: In the midst of winter, I found within myself an unvincible summer. One of my all-time favorites. Lovely photos and poem to warm a midwinter day.
It should be INvincible. Sumimasen.
Hello, Barbara, thank you for visiting and your reminder of the Camus quote. I have not thought of those words in a long, long time. I, too, have always loved them. Now, to rediscover that invincible summer within the depths of my own winter. Thank you so much.
