"Now is the globe shrunk tight
 Round the mouse's dulled wintering heart"  
                                                - from Snowdrop by Ted Hughes.

An apt description of how I feel. But mid-December is the time for these blues, not late May. Today the rain has drifted horizontally across the hillside, yet it goes deeper than weather. Mountain summits and birds usually lift my spirits so when conditions are right I have to trust they'll work again.
