Life's realities captured nicely.Every body passes through winter.It is painful as you said 'Stubbornness may prevail and I press on through the pain, but Then night gets its own back as I am kept awake

The dead of winter which is usually in January is indeed the most intense stillness and darkness that affect our emotions. Yet, this is just ephemeral. It shall come to pass and we can enjoy again the wonders of existence.

Happy to know you are a musician and can play the clarinet. Soon spring will come and you will play your instrument to your heart's content.
