Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.
My girl Norma:
"Deep at the bottom of the well no warmth has yet returned,
The rain which sighs and feels so cold has dampened withered roots.
What sort of man at such a time would come to visit the teacher?
As this is not a time for flowers, I find I've come alone."
- Su Shi, Visiting the the Temple of Auspicious Fortune Alone on the Winter Solstice
And some old pics.... taken when winter was again a true winter....
