the grittiness of the gray slushy snow
impresses me
the no give up mentality
no more icy north winds at night
rattling the wind chimes
some days the world
seems entirely too small,
but on long walks
down country roads in winter
the rest of the world
seems very very far away
getting home and some
fried potatoes in a pan
some chicken frying in another and my kitchen
is a Michelin 5 star restaurant
bottle of Cognac
