As the Storm Begins

You know the storm is coming, it’s been in the news for days.

“A big one,” they say. “Blizzard!” But, there sits this little brown

bird, a winter wren, appropriate as that may be, atop a lovely

candelabra of crimson sumac berries. The first big flakes have

settled upon him. There’s something magical about that.

Something wonderful. You’ve been rushing about doing chores,

bringing in wood, filling buckets with water. He meditates.

What is it that you have not yet learned?
