The Christmas lights come up. But they don’t stay up for long.
The candles look nice as they create a new ambience in the room. But they won’t burn forever.
Exciting evenings merge into busy days. Songs end and silence begins.
That is life.
Are we learning? Are we keeping order even in those moments when life gets out of order? Are we accepting the realization that tomorrow morning holds a reality? Are we loving it?
Clear skies become covered with clouds despite the planned-ahead-me who predicts and expects one forecast. Will I let the water fall, getting wet when I need to be cooled? Will I cover my children around me with an umbrella of understanding when protection from moisture is a must? Will I sometimes choose to throw aside the umbrellas and enjoy the downpour together?
