12.22.16 FB video It began

     It began a dark cold day, slowly morphing into 38• and so much light and color and bright. So we did what needed to be done, while the guy went and overworked the end of semester student crazies, and we instead did the holiday errands and holiday prep stuff in so many stops i couldn't believe all these people around me working or erranding were still standing. 
     Thank goodness there is the big boyo dog in this one small life who must be brought out come rain sleet or snow. 
     Because when you go down where you like to go, everything you are concerned about or learning about or angry about or conflicted about comes unwinding itself out of you.
     And all you do is stumble along, in the ice and the snow, as the wind picks up and the sun begins to set.
     And your mind emptied of things you will go pick up again tomorrow, and see if there is something to be done, or lived with at that time.
     Instead, there is that profound coming together, down wherever you choose. Or your long walk home. Or your pushing that little one in the stroller .
     You find your way no matter peace and quiet or not, to find in your opening hands the small moments, when you can come a bit undone .
