A Snowman's Demise Gives Pause To Reflect.

Snow is relatively rare and, when it falls, roguishly crippling in the UK. The other day, as Rick and I slipped and precariously slid our way on foot to the shop, we were invited by a small boy to help him and his father finish their snowman. Several days on and said snowman is but a shadow of himself as the thaw takes hold and his carrot nose lays squewiff and forlorn upon his melting chest.

As a child I always felt melancholic as the snow subsided and icy imagined snow friends bled back into earth. The film The Snowman still manages to bring a tear to my eye and seeing, this morning, the local snowman’s demise melted my heart.

The Snowman acts as a great metaphor and reminder that absolutely nothing lasts forever.

Intellectually we all know this but somehow in the midst of our daily doings this fundamental, poignant truth gets lost.

The past and future are abstract constructs to give context to our lives but now is all that really exists.

Still your mind a moment and concentrate on now and soon you realise that even now is a tenuous construct; impossible to define and pin down. All too soon consigned to past.

Our lives are an endless string of NOWS and realising this is kinda troubling but has the potential to set a person free.

By letting go of the past and refusing expectations for future a person can potentially exist in the moment and free themselves from judgement, regret and all the other shite that weighs heavy upon a soul.

A person can Just Be ~ knowing that good, bad or indifferent everything will pass.

With Love.
