sometimes, the most unexpected things bring the most unexpected joy. we all know that rexburg is a strange land with even stranger weather patterns. tonight, amid the thoughts of spring, it began to snow. a roommate and i decided that we needed to hole up with chips and the count of monte cristo, so we made our way to the store. there are about 6 inches of snow out there. and i was happy to see them all.
today, the snow was a happy reminder. a reminder that i have so little control over anything. a reminder of the stillness that comes from chaos; i know that sounds like an oxymoron, but trust me, there is calm in chaos. tonight, as i looked up at the white sky, i remembered that snow falls at its own pace. tonight the snow fell slow, steady, and determined. unchanged by any thoughts of wishing it away.
life is good and i'm happy. six inches of snow and all.
