Ducks on Ice
I wish...I WISH...I had listened to myself and taken my Nikon along for my trip to the grocery store that was closed because, duh, it is Family Day hereabouts. Then I would have felt totally blessed. But I was blessed enough to at least have my smartphone. So, although the image is not as sharp as I might have wished, it does give the general idea. Which is ...
... winter is an irrigator of our discontent, no? Loved ones ghost us, our bodies hurt, we can't see our way to the next paycheck. And everything is cold and grey and dreary to boot. The pain hits like the blunt side of a maul. But we could have the courage of ducks.
We could.
