Country Bliss

The wheels of a carriage on the roads.

The beauty of the outdoors.

The mooing of the cows.

The babbling of the creek.

THe neighing of the horses.

The sounds of walking on gravel.

THe blowing of the trees.

All to the ear that doesnt listen means nothing, but if you do listen its utter country bliss nipping at your ears

Lake

On the surface it seems so calm but who really knows what happens below that serene surface.

Yea sure you can throw a rock, pebble, stick..anything in the water and cause a splash, ripple. Obvious the bigger the object the bigger the commotion.

However, when there is a storm is present then the waters are never calm, serene. When does the storm pass...that is unknown.

Someone is left with two options...can either wait it out or brace yourself for a fight.

What is the lesser of the two evils?

Snow

As fast as the snow comes it goes...as fast as it freezes...the faster it seems to melt away.

Whether we are ready or not that snow comes and if we do not prepare...it can bury us, block us...the only way out dig or wait for it to thaw.

Digging would only cause a temporary pain last a short while on the other hand can take a great effort.

Waiting for it to thaw is the most painful and hurts the most. As you start to see the light of day under the melting snow it is shattered by yet another layer of snow and another and another...then this time you are deeper than where you started..the next thing you know 5 months has passed and you have yet to thaw.

As each moment passes your chances of digging out become bleak hence by the time you realize that you wanted to dig you are left with thawing.
