Renewal

It's winter, of that there is no doubt.  It's cold, sometimes bright, sometimes misty.  Sometimes it snows.  But we are heading back towards the sun and all around there are signs of pre-pre-spring.  The birds sing sometimes in the mornings, the days grow longer, each day the sun sits a little higher in the sky.  And today, in Michael and Ann's back garden, this glorious little clump of snowdrops. We are turned towards renewal.
