Low Winter Sun intro

Penumbrae

The shadows have their seasons, too. The feathery web the budding maples cast down upon the sullen lawn

bears but a faint relation to high summer's umbrageous weight and tunnellike continuum—

black leached from green, deep pools wherein a globe of gnats revolves as airy as an astrolabe.

The thinning shade of autumn is an inherited Oriental, red worn to pink, nap worn to thread.

Shadows on snow look blue. The skier, exultant at the summit, sees his poles elongate toward the valley: thus

each blade of grass projects another opposite the sun, and in marshes the mesh is infinite,

as the winged eclipse an eagle in flight drags across the desert floor is infinitesimal.

And shadows on water!— the beech bough bent to the speckled lake where silt motes flicker gold,

or the steel dock underslung with a submarine that trembles, its ladder stiffened by air.

And loveliest, because least looked-for, gray on gray, the stripes the pearl-white winter sun

hung low beneath the leafless wood draws out from trunk to trunk across the road like a stairway that does not rise.

John Updike

one thing about winter is it will be ridiculously bright AND ridiculously dark at the same time

I was out with with the dog and I was so happy, like, 'this is GREAT, it's so sunny and warm! This is a beautiful day! I should go for a walk with him!'

And my weather app wasn't having it

You didnt hear this from me but googling "Sex,The City and Me" and Archive.org leads you a BBC4 dump of a very unknown/underrated Burn film. it was made in 2007!! Thought you should know for Masterpost reasons

My darling Anon, you may have to send me the link indirectly as, for the life of me, I can't find the bloody thing. I can only find more and more information about the illustrious "Mr. Big" from New York, and he isn't quite the fella I'm lookin' for.

think I figured out today why I get SO frustrated about naturopaths and it's because we're SO CLOSE to the same aims but just not there!

I'm fairly crunchy as far as doctors go, I love to see people not needing medications or being able to come off things, I want to go low waste in so far as that's possible (while realising that medical purposes is at some level what plastic is FOR - it's an area where it's worth creating waste if that's what needs to happen to keep you healthy!), I love to see people improving their health through purely lifestyle measures! it's great!

but what I really want is things that WORK

so I get super frustrated at low-waste toothpaste options because they're all fluoride free because our values ALMOST align and then there's the fluoride conspiracies, and at nutritionists who correctly identify that patients have low-nutrient diets and then throw expensive supplements at them, because the more-natural and more-effective way is to eat a wide variety of foods, which is also cheaper, which is really important to a large chunk of my patients!

Why can’t it be the middle of winter now???

I wanna stand outside at night with a distant light & watch the heavy snow fall around me, enjoying the silence a cold winter’s night has to offer.

I wanna take my headphones out & listen to the crunching snow under my boots as I walk home, just existing in that moment.

I wanna come in from the cold, hang up my wet jacket & put my boots by the heater to dry, & wring out the snow & ice stuck in my hair.

I wanna curl up in a warm sweater on my rocking chair with a nice cup of cocoa with as many small marshmallows as years I’ve lived.

I wanna read a book with oldies music playing softly in the background, surrounded by warm-toned fairy lights & candles.

I want it to be the middle of winter now.

february/march is my favourite time of year to take naps because between 2 and 3pm only then the sun shines through my windows onto the sofa perfectly so that i wake up with my face bathed in sunlight
