snow

this is the problem with snow. the world insists on pushing ahead in spite of it all. you dig out your car, you bundle up in seven layers, you gingerly tiptoe across the ice, you cake on layers of salt and other environmentally unfriendly chemicals to melt the roads, you plough. for once, i wish the world would just give in to mother nature, and let everything stop. for just one day. to take a break from the routine and relax, with a book, a cup of hot chocolate, and watch the snow fall to the ground, undisturbed. i think it would be good for our mental health. our society needs to be reminded every once in a while that yes, there are more important things than that meeting at 3, or another lecture from your professor.

then, maybe i could appreciate the snow.
