Welcome Back Snuggly Season

Welcome back Snuggly Season!

I’m glad and honoured

to have this extravagant opportunity

to reunite with you

my dear friend!

I’m looking forward

to oodles of laughs,

generous bowls of homemade soups and stews

served with belly-hushing, simple-tasting balls of plantain, taro, almond, and cauliflower fufu,

fragrant bubble baths,

and tranquil nights of leisure and creativity!

These nagging thoughts

of awful snow storms,

impossibly freezing days,

perilous icy sidewalks and roads,

and shortened days

mess me up,

but at least you, Snuggly Season

force me

to create my own light

on days without sunshine,

grass,

breeze,

and flora.

Thank you Snuggly Season

for constantly pushing me

to embrace the small pleasures!

I need your teachings

to challenge me

and view the world

from an alternate perspective.

Authors note: Fufu is a West African staple. It’s pounded flour that’s served with different soups and stews. The word “fufu” is derived from the Twi (national language of Ghana) word that originates from the Akan people of Ghana.
