The elders believed that when March starts off with a
drastic weather system that most assuredly it will end
with spring like conditions. We’ll see. For now, much
of the Northeast is experiencing so much snow and
ice that right about now we’re looking forward to spring.
Which by the way happens on the 20th of March. In the
meantime it’s not what’s happening but our reaction to
it that really matters. Since moving to the mountains
eight years ago, we’ve started to act like mountain people.
We hunker down when the weather is bad and always
stay stocked up on food and water. That’s because we
know there’s nothing we can do about the weather. While
some are getting snow weary, we’re also reminded that
others are loving the snow. People who ski, snowboard
or go tubing rejoice every time it snows. The people who
own resorts with ski trails are very happy when it snows,
and there’s never (for them) too much snow. Also children are
happy when it snows so much that the schools are closed.
It all depends on your point of view. Certainly the snow covered
pine trees in my front yard are beautiful to look at. Shoveling
my car out of deep snow isn’t a fun thing to do, but I’ve
learned to give thanks for that my body is fit enough to
get the job done. March is here and with it comes the wisdom
to flow with what comes and to stay out of unnecessary stress
and worry. This too shall pass, and I’m opting to believe that
when March comes in like a Lion, it’ll go out like a Lamb.
