Well, we escaped the worst of the storm, although we did get 4"-6" of snow from it. We didn't even have a customer in the latter part of the afternoon - the roads were icy and traffic was horrific. But we did get a lot of work accomplished and today we will have sunshine. Sunshine in winter is a reminder of how incredibly beautiful a pristine land can be. It is something that we rarely see because most of us are urban dwellers. How did we allow ourselves to turn our backs on our natural world and move into a world of our own making. We alter the world to suit us instead of integrating ourselves into the whole of the world. Even though I would probably be totally clueless about survival in a totally natural, not man-made or man-embellished, world - I think it bears thinking about. After all, we only have 3-1/2 years until the potential end of the world. Maybe that end is the end of technology and the rebirth of an opportunity to work within the parameters of a natural life.
So, today I will take up my snow shovel, shovel out my driveway and my shop, and welcome the sun as a returned, long-lost and beloved relative. I leave you with this wonderful look of sun over a winter stream giving us a golden promise of a future ripe with possibilities. What will you craft today to realize those possibilities within yourself?
