It’s been a frosty weekend – temperatures in the teens and twenties and a frozen wind nearly always blowing. I stayed indoors mostly, snuggled in my balmy apartment with books and student essays.

This morning, as I hiked up and down Granite Street, the look of the various kinds of light was interesting. There was, of course, the swollen and grayish full moon above everything, shining in its unassuming way. Then there were the streetlights and their swaths of light across the street and sidewalks, plus the several lights in windows of early risers, plus the headlights of the occasional passing motorist. The day was still very dark, but I had ample lighting to lead me through my morning exercise.
