Since early last fall, and all the way through winter, the same collection of us—weather permitting—have gathered regularly near a campfire at the lakeshore. We began as Covid refugees and have carried on.
The lot of us gathered again
yesterday.
Though temperatures remained
below freezing, the bluebird sky and perfect calm made for ideal campfire
conditions. We told our stories again. Some of us gathered up branches knocked from nearby
golden willows by wind and tossed them into the fire. Three old wood pallets were submitted to the
fire.
We can tolerate both pandemics
and winter provided we have a campfire.
