January days

the snow falls

quietly

waiting, watching

snow plows

dog walkers

the world passes

the heart beats

soft-

the cat’s meow

Monday 19 January was, apparently, “blue Monday” – signifying the most depressing day of the year (at least here in the north – cold days, mid-winter, and all that). It was, for me, a lovely day. And when I got home a cat was peering out the window. Lots to observe and appreciate.
