Melting snow

Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself. -Rumi

The snow is supposed to melt in a big way this week. And that always leaves behind a wet, sloppy mess that threatens more flooding. But it also leaves behind the water for the trees to begin to warm up and bud.

Personally, I've been in my own sort of winter, not growing or learning anything new; just stagnating. And as the snow melts, I find myself waking up to the possibilities of cleaner, healthier days. Days filled with who and what I want to be, not filled with other peoples' baggage and bad choices.

I can be anything tomorrow if I just start today.
