“And finally Winter,
with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,
and all the land will be mantled with snow”
Roy Bean
Then Snow Came
“No this is not fake!
So just run for your lives
Before you get the wintery hives”

Then Snow Came
Down, down, down
The snow again came
Filling the open drain

and all the land will be mantled with snow”

Then Snow Came
A multitude of flakes
Leaving in its wake
Even filling, a very large lake

“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
Steve Martin
Night Time
In the middle of the night
When nothing stirs, nothing moves
A few solemn lights
In the slow wind groove
The rain the only sound
And it really, really is loud!

“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way,
creating more unintended consequences,
and failing to achieve anything useful”
Margaret J. Wheatley
Daily Reflections
Time flying by
Without commotion
Life flying by
Like inflicted emotions

Daily reflections
Today’s expectations?
All now neglected

“My favourite country is Finland
because once you get to a certain point
you can drive for hours without seeing a single person.
I love peace and quiet – something I don’t get very often”
Christopher Lee
Jean Sibelius Day, 8th of December
Jean Sibelius, born Johan Julius Christian Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957), was a Finnish composer and violinist of the late Romantic and early-modern periods. He is widely recognized as his country’s greatest composer and, through his music, is often credited with having helped Finland to develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia.
Sibelius composed prolifically until the mid-1920s but after completing his Seventh Symphony (1924), the incidental music for The Tempest (1926), and the tone poem Tapiola (1926).

Dark Shadows
The sky filled with darkness
The cast shadows seem harmless
The calm before the storm
Everything soon to transform

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller
Dark Shadows
The rain and thunder soon to follow
The earth and skies swallowed
By nature’s display of power
No need to feel sour

Dark Shadows
Soon the sun will shine again
And the bad weather will be slain
