i have lost the will to blog. it's -20 degrees. avery has been sick for a week. i haven't been outside in days. i'm exhausted. all i want to do is hunker down, get cozy in my warm basement and curl up with a DVD of "Planet Earth" which we got for Christmas and haven't had the chance to watch yet. i highly recommend it!
it makes perfect sense to me. that all i want is to be near my family and stay underground. especially after watching mama polar bear and her cubs as they emerged from the hole in the snow after a long winter holed-up together nursing in the darkness. i'm not any different than her. i need to preserve my strength for the coming spring. the demands of raising up a cub are strenuous. so i'm hibernating for the rest of the winter. don't know when you'll hear from me again. for now it's time for stillness underneath the snow, nursing in the darkness, bodies buried below....
