“There is something that contains everything.” (from verse 35 of Urula K. LeGuin’s interpretation of the Tao Te Ching)

Hello friends! The heat of summer has arrived for so many and it’s going to build in even more here next week. For some reason this has me craving the ice sculptures of winter so that’s what I’m choosing for today! So many photos in that file that I’ve never posted. If you are where it is hot or smoky or flooded or all of the above, may this bring a little balance to your day.

Just for fun, I’m going to send this out to all subscribers today. If you weren’t with us last winter, maybe now you have an idea why I think winter is the best season!

The intricacy of all the bubbles blows me away

Take good care friends. Stay cool and hydrated!
