white Christmas

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.12.22

It snowed overnight, returning the landscape to a wintry white just days before Christmas.

Three reasons to be thankful:

  1. Winter tires before all the driving today (errands) and tomorrow (travel).
  2. 75% of my coworkers are away from the office, and I have much documentation to write.
  3. The days officially start getting longer today, the day after the solstice.

When destiny comes to a man from outside, it lays him low, just as an arrow lays a deer low. When destiny comes to a man from within, from his innermost being, it makes him strong, it makes him into a god…
