But it can also be stunningly beautiful, particularly in the corners of everyday life where we rarely venture.
This chilly dichotomy dawned on me the other night as the dog and I set out on a walk. It had been snowing for days, leaving everything in sight covered in a thick layer of white.
At the end of our block, a plow had left a massive pile of jumbled snow behind, jagged blocks casting sharp shadows under the brilliant streetlights, the colour naturally drained from the icy facets.
It reminded me of those drone overflights of majestic peaks, a mundane suburban snow mountain masquerading as something much more substantial. And if you squinted just so, you might be tricked into believing this was indeed something more.
But that’s the thing about the theatre of the mind. What we see within it is substantial if we believe it to be so. Imagination is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?
