A life of opposites....

"In the depths of winter I finally learned

that

within me there lay an invincible summer."

-  Albert Camus 

Snow arrives,

gracing the bluegrass,

seems the weather has been confused,

one day it is hot,

the next

tiny specks of white cold snow falls from the sky.

Our life is often like that as well, don't you agree?
We're kind of confusing like the weather.
One minute we are basking in the warmth of life,
enjoying the ordinary wonder of just being alive,
and
without rhyme or reason,
something hits us,
and
in a protective kind of way,
we glaze over,
gloss over,
freeze over
just like the snow crystals that hit
the
purple pansies
as they are enjoying the sunbeams.

We teeter between highs and lows,
hots and colds
all the while
never quite understanding
how it all happens.
Biochemicals,
neurotransmitters,
receptors and chemicals.

Life
it is an amazing ride
hot-cold
love-hate
comprehend-confused
courage-fear
up-down
light-dark
and
then it starts all over again
just as the sun rises in the morning
and
then passes
the
moon on its way to the other side of the world.

Rhyme
Reason
understanding

I don't think I'll ever understand it
but
I'm glad
and
appreciative
of
my
highs and my lows
and
all the wonder in between

Have a happy Sunday morning!
hugs and blessings
