Violent Voice of Weather

When the weather works this hard to get your attention, you sure as hell better pay attention. This blizzard has turned my life upside down and inside out, baptizing me in its flurries and drifts, and never will I be the same. Hallelujah, amen.

This storm revived
the awe-inspired child in me,
the love-struck but quickly broken-hearted teenager,
the professionally motivated East-coaster, the fun-loving Californian,
the bibliophile,
the spiritual mystic,
the photographer and painter,
the sensualist and the idealist
both greed and selflessness.

Every facet of myself roamed the space of this unexpected vacation from "real life." Of course, it felt more "real" than normal life ever does. Must this upheaval end? Keep snowing, generous sky. You have returned to me my broken parts, and for that I am grateful. Stay.
