In remembrance.

This morning was grey & cold

with the promise of snow

rolling in over the Front Range, 

seemingly mirroring my own

state of mind.

As I walked along the paths

by the Boulder Reservoir, 

my thoughts turned

to my family in NC.

This afternoon they buried my

Pop Pop, 

and I was saddened not to be

there with them to celebrate his life.

Being out in the brisk fresh air, though, 

I was reminded that even in the 

grey midwinter, we are surrounded

by beauty & life, 

and I am thankful.
