| me: It's snowing. Nice blanket of fresh white. Hides the ice... May snow until Monday or Tuesday. A big storm by Western Montana standards if it adds up to over a foot. We were at 130% snowpack in the mountains earlier this week. This bodes well for water through summer. Last year was extremely dry... about 70% of normal precipitation. All deviance from normal upsets people, it seems. We plan our lives based on "normal", on tomorrow being the same as yesterday. It isn't, of course. Those of us who had to be flexible while we were younger approach change with less alarm than others. And things change. Conservatives and traditionalists around the world face an uncertain future with fear. The oppressed face it with hope... in spite of apparent setbacks. They've been there before. In our personal lives, flexibility and openness is the key. It isn't always easy. I'll try to remember this in the coming year. My ability to remain/become open and flexible will most assuredly be challenged. Pray I'm up to the challenge as the snow piles up and again when it melts. |
