People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

Sadly forgotten now, Jean Hersey wrote many fine books on gardening. Her observations on the changing seasons have a poetic truth about them. Here she comments on March & its contrary motion:

Perhaps Spring can distract me from the winter of our politics.

Artist Tasha Tudor's visual calendar, "A Time To Keep", is corgi-filled and unabashedly innocent. Still, it's nice for the modern mind to imagine a March day that never was but should have been.

The "in-between" days after Christmas and before New Years cast a strange magic over me. Until I hear the firecrackers of New Year's Eve I'm never quite sure what day it is. Like in the "snow ball" pictured below, the dancers, the music, time itself is frozen during these spellbound days.

Among novelists from the past I wished I'd known, Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) comes to mind.
