Cold Snap

cold snap
door closes off the warmth
bundled in layers
door opens, Winter coat comes off
the warmth and savior, of church

Ohhh, that moment where entering and exiting a place like a church creates not just a literal warm and cold experience but also metaphorical. Great tanka. Stay warm.^__^ JCB

I'm sorry for you, Kim. It's too cold. At 10.30 a.m., it's 18 degrees. But we get too much damp.

Love the ending Kim. It is minus five degrees here last night. Got to stay layered up. Go Bills...

Been a long time since I've been in the bitter cold, but can remember that chill well. I remember 27 below in Syracuse. How about Florida snow! So much for global warming. Small ice age may be approaching. Co2 could be a blessing. Let's back off on that limiting.

Dear Kim, I saw you just posted this and wanted to jump in before I forgot. LOL! I think you have expressed the love of what churches bring to us to include Christ, the Word, friendships, prayer, and devotions that all bring a level of warmth. I enjoyed reading your Tanka this morning. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
