words of wisdom on a sunday evening

surprise

This morning,
I opened the door.

My car was covered with a light layer of snow.


All day,
the world outside the school windows was a delightfully gloomy picture.
The clouds were promising more.

This evening,
I walked through a soaking blizzard.

My hair got wet. My coat was speckled with snowflakes. I started to sing.

I'm currently cozy in my house. The prospect of a world washed in white makes me giddy. 

*must remember this for myself.

time.

It comes, leaves a memory, and then flies away quickly; I am unable to catch it and save it in a jar, poking holes through the lid to give it oxygen. 

I can't set it on my shelf and look at it, waiting for it to move or try to escape. It merely comes when it chooses, giving me an hour here, a few minutes there. 

I laugh with time; I flirt with time. I lose track of it, another quality that makes it impossible to capture and protect. I am constantly running out of it; my supply runs dry and life gets harder. It's like... a best friend who I haven't seen for a week or two, or when I go a whole day without seeing my baby brother.


Do you have any time on your hands? And if you do, would you lend me some?

It seems more relevant to the blog and less...every-other-address-was-taken-so-i-just-used-a-random-mashup-of-words-ish.
