Is there a connection? It has been gloomy as all get out for the past week. We're talking gray. No sun. Really depressing. I remember in high school meeting someone who told me their mood wasn't affected by the weather. And thinking wow, mine is, is there something wrong with me? In winter I feel very introspective, like a tree digging deep with its feeler roots seeking nourishment. But today I feel great because the sun is out, people are smiling, and the temperature is in the 60s.
My skin is starting to look a little pasty, you know, that weird white color of people's faces at O'Hare Airport in January when you are flying back from Miami. I get used to the sunshine really fast. When the days get shorter and dimmer in the fall I start getting depressed. I love the fall colors, but it always symbolizes winter coming. By January I am always fine. By January I have gotten introspective and am in my planning state. My mind is so fertile in the winter. I wonder if trees do that. I wonder if they are planning for the spring, and thinking about getting their sap flowing. I wonder if they are stretching down a little deeper in the ground to get the the water and minerals.
Is there a connection? Between trees and me looking for the sun? Is there a connection? That the stock market went down when the days were gloomy and up when the sun came out?
