It's that time of year when one begins to grow bored and not only with the self - because winter is long and unlike in the summer-time, I anyway, feel less dynamic. Energy is lacking, projects seem to move slowly, the sap doesn't rise as it does in the spring - though we long for it - and we move slowly against the wind down the broad avenues of the city or head into the wind of a country field or path. Either way, we are met with obstacle. Small wonder that some animals choose wisely, to hibernate and wait the whole thing out, not showing their face until the winter is passed and the sun is here again. Maybe I like George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" because it so perfectly captures that long cold lonely winter and the coming out of it.

oaths, promises, the gauntlet is down
