A Winter Muse

Is it because it's January? Too many dark, gray days. The holiday season behind us. Not much to look forward to in the coming weeks.

Is it the age? Another birthday coming up. Middle age pushing towards "senior." Hmmmmm....

What's the restlessness, the not feeling settled, the loss of passion about what I do? What's this longing to do something important, something that makes a difference? It's always been there, but the feeling is more urgent these days.

How to begin? How to find what's missing? Is it because it's January?
