Wow, this is a beautifully written piece Lee, with so many wonderful evocative images as we move into our Tassie winter and the wintering of our souls. I love the courage that comes through in all your posts, but particularly this one as you explore your feelings of uncertainty, which I am sure so many of us are feeling.
I too think we become more reflective as we age. We want to make a difference. We find more solace in nature. Maybe brain thinking and feeling patterns evolve to suit the new ‘us’. Although … older people are renowned for being more rigid in their thinking. I like to think we can counter those tendencies. Your writing certainly gave me a lot to think about.

Thank you Kerry. I am feeling a lot more certain since the election outcome!
