“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” John Steinbeck
She Went Deep She went deep, so deep that she opened the door of summer's heat to winter's cool in a flash of such interior calm that time slowed down a pulse of almost nil and a half where the externals were clear for the first time and she slipped away inside, distilling everything to an unsurpassable peace of body held as she withdrew the world from her heart under a canopy of frost so cool, the heat of life could not seduce and melt her. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Another wow. There is much to absorb here and all I could think while reading is that I’ve only begun to penetrate the frost.
