REFLECTING ON WHAT IS REAL

Here I sit again
Resting
Snow removal finished
A big job
Very strenuous
Even with snow-blower
Worked over an hour
Then parked the machine
Filled it with gasoline
Easier now than in
the midst of a blizzard
Placed my heater to melt
the snow in the auger area
Then covered the machine
with a canvas tarp and weighted
the tarp with pieces of wood
 
Now I sit, thankful
Nature came
Snow came
Wind came
I cleaned up what was necessary
The surrounding area is magnificent
Beauty beyond our ability to describe
The lake looks almost white
Lots of ice and icy-mush
Two more months until spring
Then one or two more months of winter
That is how it is in God’s country
A kind of give and take thing
Nothing is for sure
 
Life is that way
We are just a speck in time
Here today, gone tomorrow
What did we do?
Did we have a positive affect?
Will people miss us?
Does it even matter?
We know who we are
What else could matter?
What is, is
