A bright mid-afternoon sun floods white houses on the far side of the pale blue lake, its beauty and light reflected back this way. Earlier, when the sun was higher in the sky, it was the season's first snow that reflected back all that light.

In the light of the bright cold day, birds feed vigorously.

The woman of the house anticipates her first solitary thanksgiving meal, turkey, wild rice, cranberries, roots.

Solitude spotlights soul in this early-winter retreat; five days of solitude, days out of time. A friend's tale sets the ritual, daily rice offerings to Inari, Shinto kami, goddess, nature spirit, white fox.
