"The blinding of Samson " c.1636 by Dutch Baroque artist Rembrandt Van Rijn
________________________
" For so many years
I lived
in constant terror of myself.
Doubt had married my fear
and moved into my mind,
where it built castles and kingdoms
and reigned over me,
bowing my will to it's whispers
until I was little more than
an acquiescing peon,
too terrified to disobey,
too terrified to disagree.
I had been shackled,
a prisoner in my own mind.
But finally, finally,
I have learned to break free. "
— Tahereh Mafi —

It hadn't snowed yet. It never snowed until mid December here, but recently he'd heard of people in the Western Hemisphere complain of having too much already.
