A month to endure
November is the descent into the underworld... the strange dark place where life and light are gone and bright sunshine and growing green things seem like a ridiculously happy memory, never to be seen again. Even to see the stars at night is a rare and hopeful thing in November, a reminder that the iron roof of cold clouds does indeed lift, and change is not only possible but happening right now, while we wait under heavy weather.
