Yesterday
we had our first snow of the season. When I was a kid, I always felt a
sense of excitement when a storm was forecast, knowing we'd have a
holiday - a snow day. Even though I'm an adult now, I still have that
holiday feeling whenever the snowflakes start falling. It seems Nature
is breaking into our usual routine - based so heavily on society's smug
sense of self-importance - in order to let us know that SHE, with her
4.6 billion-year cycles, is STILL the one in charge. Yesterday was
especially beautiful because the golden leaves were still on the aspen
trees.
