Why is this the warmth in my cold cold Montreal? 

The weather shapes our mood and will have a profound impact on our level of energy to a specific day. This day was humid and the "plafond"...oh the "plafond" my friends, was so low. I was walking in nature to take photographs and the sky was pressing on my body. I had to sit, I had to lay down, i just wanted to stop my legs from walking. 

And then, the beauty in all the white. The white sky, the white ground, the different shades of white brought me calm and warmth. I was at peace. I was walking slow, but feeling completely there. 

I was a little bit like this tree. Sadly proud to be standing there. 

I was thinking about the word "vitality" as i was struggling to keep moving. Does vitality always has to come with great action? Is there such a thing as slow vitality? Can i honor this life of mine if i just let this moment be. I don't want to try and fast-pace it or force myself to expand my energy, to see the unseen, to be soooooo creative. 

My vitality is cold and wants to slow down. This thought gave me warmth and i had a hot chocolate when i got back home.
