Winter strength

"In the winter scheme of things there are days that seem to made of a nearly indestructible symmetry. I know it to be in transition, but the landscape is so pure and precise, so bold and ironclad, as to invite me into a clean depth of its own. At low tide, and in the late afternoon, the offshore waters are bright blue, pushing in pack ice so that the distance is filled with a swishing roar, while along the beach is a hush, a winter silence." In Defense of Nature by John Hay.

I am loving this book and the way John Hay writes about nature. He describes the seasons and how the changes effect us. The way he sees the winter ocean is something I completely relate to. I want to write like him, he is so inspiring!
