Brrrrr...that is sound of the man, walking in the ice-laaaaand, that is the sound of the man, walking on the "iced" land. Corny, I know-but winter has officially shown its face. I mean it ain't vicious outside, but there is ice all over the ground, and the roads are slippery. On days like this, an SUV is not a saving grace. What you should really do, is keep you butt inside-that is what you should do but folks have a need to get out. Like a few hours with just your kids, or you lady or even your parents and that old cabin fever sits in.
I don't seem to have that problem. I remember the awesome blizzard of 2010, and me and wifey were in the crib for days...literally, 4 or 5 days straight and it was fun. We were productive, and really enjoyed each other. So today, well it will be no different. Might not take the munchkin out in the element, but as stated be hold up in the house is fine by me. The weather, when it closes you to the outside then brings the inside out. ***Special News Bulletin***I am about to get deep. Ha, I be killing myself-but anyway. What I mean is when you are forced, by nature to stay inside your house because of what is going on outside, then you have to focus on what is inside of you...and then, at least for me, attempt to bring that which is inside of you out.
This is the foundation of my logic, "that when outside forces you in, the inside comes out". I feel I am a creative being, so when I am in the house and have "time"...precious precious time-then I can find that creative space. Even if it is only a few minutes, and produce something or at least think about producing something...whether it be a poem, a song, a blog entry...time and space. Inside out. The beauty of taking what the day gives you and giving something back to the day.
I do feel a bit saddened though by the icy elements around us. Well, we were supposed to go to one of my little cousin's b-day parties at the skating rink...how ironic, skating. But it was roller skating, still funny in almost analogous way. But it was cancelled. The family was still hooking up, but the LO has a bit of the sniffles so we decided to lock it down inside. It is never a bad idea to stay in though, because ice is the whackest. I mean it may be the worst weather element I can think of. Pause. I am thinking.
I am back...yeah, think it ranks as whackadocious. I say that because rain washes and rejuvenates the earth. Sunshine days, well enough said. Even when it is cold. Snow filters and purifies the air-least I heard that somewhere before and it sounds...well, like what snow looks like it should do. Storms and hurricanes are not cool either, but they come with rain and of times are to clear the earth and again restore growth in the devastation. Arguably. But ice. It is cold, slippery, nasty when it melts a bit, dangerous and just unpleasant. You can fall, wreck, and/or just get jacked up...for no reason.
So, for me and mine-ice is better served in tea. But when we get the ol' wintery mix going good, I lock it up and chill...literally, inside. Maybe I will do a little writing. LOL
