After a busy few days - torrential wind and rain yesterday, 'flu jab, and returning to Lakeland from Edinburgh - all is calm and peaceful here this morning. I realise that I've just spent a silent half hour gazing at 'the Slant of light.'
Emily Dickinson was reflecting on winter melancholy when she wrote thepoem There's a certain Slant of light in 1861. Not for the first time, I'm finding her reflections can also illuminate delight. There's a nip in the air but it's certainly a good morning.
