There's a stone flowerpot outside my
back window that for a long time has been swamped with water. This
winter I've been using it as a gauge – if there's ice in it, I feel
justified in putting the heating on. I wonder why I don't trust my
self – if I'm cold, I'm cold and it's ok to address that –
whether with yet another layer, or by putting the heating on. I don't
need an external verifier. This morning it's taken very little time
for the ice to melt, bit by bit each time I've glanced over - the sun has been strong.
So far my morning has involved trying
really hard to focus on the blessings, the sunshine and not the ice.
And someone has done something unusually thoughtful and it has
affected me so much more than I'd expect. I guess where we feel
warmth already there's no melting to be done.
I hope the rays get
into your cold bits today too.
