The NY Times keeps proving that it is possible to sink even lower. Even a lot of their health writing is biased and cringe-worthy. The only thing they do well is write about cute animals. But if they ever mess that up, it's over for them.

I love how this tree is growing out of a crack in the rock, not just surviving, but thriving.

When a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, it doesn’t say, “Where are my caterpillar parts?” It basks in the sun and restts in its butterfly-ness, stretching its wings until they are strong enough to take flight.

Every morning the sun slips above the horizon,
bathing the world in warmth—
even when the sky is shrouded
by a blanket of clouds.

And when a dense tangle of grief
has grown around you,
know that the sun will return
each morning
to shower you with hope
and illuminate your way
out of darkness.

No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, & tossed into the seas; this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And it is a beautiful one! ~ C. JoyBell C.

Spring has returned to the Saugeen Peninsula in Ontario. Although after recent ice and wind storms, it will be a while before the Bruce Trail is back in shape.

In January, I moved further north to one of the many magical winter places in Canada.
