It may be spring here in the Great White North, but Mother Nature must have misread her calendar when she decided to send a nasty blast of snow and ice and wind through the region. It’s a story as old as Canada itself, and like all true Canadians, we grumbled as we added a few layers and stepped outside.
Life, after all, must go on no matter the weather.
I’m reasonably sure this jumbled snow pile doesn’t merit so much as a second glance from the countless folks rushing off to whatever it is they rush off to. Life doesn’t just go on. It speeds by, and who has the time to stare at snow?
I’m guessing I’m the odd-one-out weirdo who finds a few seconds to do just that. It isn’t much: just a few hastily stolen frames in the brilliant sun before the clock calls once again. But I figure they’re seconds well spent given how soon all of this will melt.
When we think of things we want to remember, I’m pretty sure jumbled snowbanks aren’t remotely near the top of the list. And maybe that’s why I look for the things that never make the “must remember” list in the first place.
Maybe I look in weird places because no one else does. Maybe I’m wasting my time.
But in the moments where ignored corners of everyday life jump out at me as somewhat worthy, it doesn’t feel that way.
