Protection


I wake to the sound of sleet hitting the window.
What will today bring? Sun, rain, sleet, snow.
Rain soakes parched lands, raises rivers above flood levels.
The ice protects the buds, coats roads, cuts power.
Snow, comes in huge drifts, roofs peak.

Floods, avalances, accidents, power losses.
Quenched thirst, summer water, winter sports.

Weather is a lot like life and our emotions ...
Constantly in motion ... constantly emoting.

For those who today are in the "face" of winter harshness.
Prepare ... be with others ... stay warm.
Know you are not alone.
