A Small Inventory of Winters

Eivor Halden
Eivor Halden

Essayist. Keeper of small hours.

An accounting of the winters I have known — the kind that did not pass cleanly, and the kind that did.

There was the winter of the second illness, and the winter the pipes froze, and the winter I read nothing and wrote nothing and was, for a quiet three months, nearly happy.

They are not ranked. A life is not a ranking.
