january

january always seems to me to be the longest month of the year. at the end of it i can hardly remember the beginning. but this year it's flying by. i think because i was away and missed new years. missed the days of quiet contemplation. and since i've been home it's been catch-up. today i start teaching (a course i teach every winter - a couple of afternoons/week)and i know once i'm teaching the weeks of winter go by quickly. my goal this year is to slow down. to take more in. already this seems like such a challenge...
