they say that rain is the wisdom of oceans & clouds & rivers falling back to it's rightful place; i think snow is just wisdom that sticks.
snow makes us wise because it makes us see all the dark spots.
it makes everything stand out that doesn't fit, & makes the ugly uglier. that's why road trips in summer feel so much more free; you can't see all the sludge your sixty mph dredges on the earth.
all those flakes make new mountain faces, bearded and layered. it's funny how snowfall makes our world clean & new; wisdom gives fresh perspective.
wisdom is knowing when to be loud too. storms are loud because they bury your car & your plans & show you that you never really have to do much of anything. i think sometimes i'm too quiet; or maybe i'm too loud to shut up and listen.
i think winter's trying to tell me something.
