Snow. Its beautiful. The best part is the quiet. People are forced to slow down. No one is rushing to get anywhere. No one is on the roads. Its like God's theraputic way of bringing people closer together. But the quiet is best. I went out to try capture some of it on photo, but is was technically and asthetically difficult: It goes to show, somethings are not meant to be captured, just meant to be observed and admired. It got me to thinking, we live in a world of instant gratification. Fast-paced and unforgiving. Those who dont have the number, are left in the dust. We see fast-cars wiz by us, fast-food restaurants, fast delivery in 30 minutes or less. We can pick our husbands and wives off electronic shelving effortlessly and 'E'harmoneously, forests turn into shopping malls, children turn into videogame dope fiends and our personal lives show up on minifeeds, and we watch.... as the hourglass empties the last grains of sand of "the old way" to the bottom. Until that time is up, ill bask in those pleasures of "the old way"... Remember the Snow, remember the beautiful dinner you dined over with your sweatheart. remember the words you both exchanged. Remember to kiss your kids before they go to school, remember your best friends are only a phone call or short drive away. Remember we dont live forever and that this life is a one-time gift, no exchanges, no returns.
Today, I saw a man stop; in the middle of the town square. He stopped, and looked up. And there, he realized he was not invinsible. We are gods We created. We, in one accord, worship ourselves.
