Faith is aconite
rising in February

Winter aconite

Oh, Ruth. Little did you know then what you know now. Is Faith always warm?
What do you think?
That's a good question, Ruth! I think it can often FEEL cold or nonexistent but the way you put it makes me wonder if for some people it's just hiding under snow and feels cold because only the snow is visible. For me personally, my faith has always been warm but I know I'm a bit "abnormal." :)
I like the way you put that, that it may feel cold because it's hidden.
Ruth, my mom loved the haiku (I sent it to her with the German translation attached). She said it moved her.
See, now you're an internationally acclaimed poet!
Sweet!
I need to meet Mi sometime (is that how you spell it?)
Ing, I just realized we're talking about YOUR mom on MY mom's death anniversary!
Synchronicity.
