Today I was thinking about the snow and how demanding it’s becoming both physically and mentally. Just planning the day revolves around the constant shoveling of the driveway, the sidewalk and then the million dollar question, “when is this going to stop!”
However, when it does stop and it starts to melt we encounter the meltdown stage of disgusting brown/black slush. All this stress is then added to the driving with dangerous road conditions that turns into a nightmare because when roads seem fine all of a sudden it changes from being green to amber and from red to black.
Red to black that is when I pray that the car and I make it all the way home without any of these; the spinning, the crashing or the stuck in the immense snow and ice. All this produces an adrenalin rush of fear, legs shaking, heart beating and the constant swearing and “I should have stayed home or what was I thinking!” Yes this is what beautiful snow does to the body and the soul!!
But then again, what do I do when there is no more snow on the ground or on the forecast and I have not one ounce of fear or recollection of what happened last time I was…
I wish for it again and wish for it to come down from the sky with a strong force just because it is so virgin beautiful. Yes virgin because it has not done yet what is naturally intended to do even with its deformed but yet almost perfect snow flakes.
