Happy Lunar New Year! We are entering the year of the Dragon. I read that this is to be a year of luck, growth, and change/reinvention. May your year be auspicious, Friends.🎉🐉💖

"Snowdrops" by Louise Glück. RIP. 💔
"Snowdrops" by Louise Glück Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn't expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring— afraid, yes, but among you again crying yes risk joy in the raw wind of the new world.
