I’m Cold

Chenrezig, The Buddha of Compassion

I have lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I remember the polar vortex winter of 2014–15, when I didn’t leave the house for a month. I have lived in colder climates. I know this is not real cold. It is 21, with a forecast low of 16. I know people who have video of themselves throwing pots of boiling water into the air to watch it freeze instantly. That’s cold. I stay inside in that kind of cold.
