Zephyr at Twilight

Can you believe it? We woke to snow, ice and freezing temperatures. That's what we get for coming to the "Icebox of Pennsylvania". Tim and I went for a walk today (see above). We expected daffodils, forsythia, and green grass, but were met with the blasts of winter.

What do you do when met with the unexpected?

In the latter years of the 17oo's, Robert Burns said "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray". "Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley." A. J. Cronin.

Nothing is ever as you expect it to be. The zephyr is blasted by the winter's storm. This does not mean the zephyr is gone. The storm is simply more noticable than the gentle breeze. Yet, the zephyr remains.

The best you can do is to accept the unexpected and look for the next direction.
