proper sit tonight, first in many days. twilight, with the boy.
recognized tonight that the majority of our winds here are coming from the northwest. does this change with the seasons? do these winds bring a particular kind of weather? new things to learn.
the bare ground beneath the trees looks like moon shadows. the larger the pine, the larger the bare patch beneath it. a result simply of the branches channelling snow away, or because of the warm shelter the pines offer at their base as well, melting the snow more quickly?
outside a lot with the boy today, the most so far in this life for him. he is so alert outdoors, just looking and looking, feeling, listening, absorbing. (and then, invariably, sleeping deeply on my shoulder.) he can go for great lengths of time silently perched over my shoulder or snuggled in my coat with a view out. like a little tree himself, perfectly suited to just be in nature, asking for nothing but to be, growing quietly.
walking on the earth tonight, i could feel its give. imagined mole/vole channels collapsing beneath my weight in the soft earth.
