Thermidor is when a revolutionary state starts to swing back towards the conditions of the pre-revolutionary system that it replaced. The subject matter of this blog deals with this phenomenon, but the topics also range from philosophy and rhetoric to entertainment and arts. In general it is a blog of my thoughts and experiences.

Snow pt. 1
Being someone who has not spent a winter in a snowy land for some time, I really appreciate it now. Winter is the death month. Everything dies and it gets cold. Spring is then the rebirth. So, I tend to get s.a.d. in winter. The baby distracted me from finishing this earlier as the snow slowly melts away I fear I may not get to the point before she distracts me until the spring. The point is snow is a true tabula Rosa. A blank slate for the mind. Or maybe more of a detergent for the mind, but either way if you let it, it can be a helpful tool in overcoming seasonal disaffecting disorder or general depression.
