the truth is
i find february hard…
long and slow and tedious.

i try to fill my days
and nights with books
and movies and music…
things that will inspire me,
filling the well if you read artist way…

i try to accept that
this
is the perfect time
to hibernate,
rejuvenate,
restore, renew, rest…
but i start to get
itchy feet…
i want to get out and about again.

i have to remind myself
that this will pass.
that the days will get longer.
and warmer.

and that i should take a cue
from finnegan
and just catnap
while i can…
and wherever i want. :)
