I have to say it was a pretty great truffle! I'm sure that's what Billy Collins meant when he said to bring the reader along: just start with tea and chocolate...
I’ve been dreadfully behind on my Substack reading, but thankful for a chance to finally sit in the quiet with this one!
Strange how my own beautifully colored trees feel so far away (though leaves remain littered on the ground), and yet I am treasuring the contrast, right now, of stark, silver limbs, empty against the often gray sky.
I’m sad to admit I’ve not read much of Billy’s work but I’ve put him on my reading list for next year!
I'm dreadfully behind on my reading this month as well. New posts keep slipping by me daily. Thanks for spending some quiet moments here!
I was just looking out the window yesterday and thinking how hard it is for me to love the monotoned sepia color of the winter tree landscape. May I learn to appreciate it like you do!
I hope you do get to check out Billy Collins and I suggest listening to his particular droll way of reading his work. Do you have any favorite poets?
You had me at the tea and truffle, Aimee ...

I will definitely try to listen! My forever favorites are Mary Oliver, Lucy Shaw, David Whyte, and John O’Donohue!
