Here
in Minnesota, the heart of winter is upon us.

We will have a
few days reprieve. Temperatures this week are to be in the thirties. This is
mild and that kind of weather is appreciated here by all except the ice-fishing
crowd and the cross-country skiers and the skaters and the snowmobilers.
It is beautiful
here now. I have posted above a photograph that our youngest kid took while she
was home for the long holiday break. She is studying right now at the International Center for Photography in
Manhattan.
Her photograph
above, reminds me of this line I just read in a Rainer Maria Rilke poem…
“Oh tall tree of
our knowing, shedding its leaves;
It’s a matter now of facing the preponderance
of sky appearing through its branches.”
It’s a matter now of facing the preponderance
of sky appearing through its branches.”

“Can’t see the forest for the trees…”
It’s amazing that 67 members of the House of Representatives last week voted against a relief package for those East Coast locations damaged by Hurricane Sandy. All 67 were Republicans.
