winter is here, although the light snow we got is melting quickly and the sun is shining. i love how the weather is strangely much like life. the cold never lasts for too long, it is always driven away by something greater, the warmth of the sun. the snow always melts, even though it may take time, and then we begin again. it is a cycle, it is love, it is friendship, it is pain, it is action, it is a mystery, it is life. i think about how we use to live, not that long ago, when we did not know what the weather was going to be like that day or that week, how different must that have been, i wonder if i would prepare more or less? did it make the seasons of life feel more natural, less out of control- if we could not even predict the weather, how could we predict life? but now we know more, we know what the weather will do hour by hour, and we expect more of the same for life. how wonderful that some things are still a mystery!
