I had just published the previous post, and at the bottom of the ‘this is what you just posted’-window, there were links to three other older posts that I’d written. I clicked on this, and was surprised at how smart I was. Not in any way amazingly, but just enough, comfortingly. Especially for my present state of mind.
Persistence, not giving up flat out, but tacticly. Making sure I don’t end up in a free fall. That’s what I’ll do.
Like the blue anemones Lina and I saw on our walk on Sunday, beautiful and drenched in sun. The first signs of spring, almost holy in their symbolic value.
By Monday morning, they were buried in snow. But now, the snow is melting and we’re expecting another sunny weekend.

Or the two oaks that we met, that just refused to stop growing, even when solid rock got in the way.
