We woke up to soft, fluffy white powder and blue skies blanketing our world. It's every skiers daydream and a driver’s nightmare. I arose, made some green tea and ventured out to see the state of the car: a white blump. So I broomed off the car and started it, wondering if I would be able to navigate through the snow that reached the bumpers! After a cup of determination (i.e. stiff green tea) and a few tries, I eventually made it out of the driveway and into the snow-covered world. Slowly.
I like it when the world is like this. Quiet. Calm. Slow. We are required by the law of physics (and the ice) to slow down our motions, to be hyper-aware of our moves, and to be conscious of ourselves. It's a meditation in action. As I sit in the afternoon sun soaking up my vitamin D for the day, I remember that all of life can be spent this way. A beautiful, calm meditation.
