Take the Clobber
Toronto, Ontario
Much of the country got clobbered today – with snow. Imagine, it’s April, but it always does that. You are lead to believe that spring is upon us with the explosion of buds and shoots bursting out of the ground and some subtle colours splashing. And then, a last blast of winter blitz before a thaw springs back into action.
Do not depend on weather any more than the wayward mind. In fact, expect an adventure from either of them. Such is the message of the Gita. You have to ask where trust can then be placed. Not in the fickleness of this world for sure. What you can trust in is that the master director of it all will provide you the perfect drama. This display of nature under masterful operations ticks away on a 24/7 basis. And you know what else comes about from all of this? It’s the duality, the duality of turbulence and tranquility that are on their shifts. Make sure to dress for either occasion, be prepared for the unannounced shifts.
Walkers, foot travelers or hikers know this more than anyone. They will face the raw element and adjust accordingly. And as animals do when taking on an extra layer of coat, you adjust and add on a jacket when you have to, or in the reverse, you strip or shed something in the wake of heat rising. It’s all an exercise in flexibility. You learn to flex with the fluctuations. You learn to weather the weather.
All in all it becomes an interesting package deal for me, coming from the tropics and then catching the nip of the Arctic. Perhaps these dualities are a very good thing. For blood to go from thick to thin and then back like the sap of the tree that runs swiftly on the influence of climatic changes. What I do know is that change can be good. We just have to be ready to change, so change.
