But curiosity is a funny thing. It compels us to look when we shouldn’t, to continue when we should likely head back, to set aside the danger for a bit because we just can’t imagine missing the show.
And what a show it turns out to be as the brutally grey skies slowly turn blue and then black. As the street lights awaken from a day of power failures and add their own surreal twist to a landscape already teeming with surreality.
So I head outside and walk like a penguin under branches encased in brilliantly lit glass. The ice crunches under my feet as overloaded trees bend precariously under the load. The wind picks up and sends another chaotic sculpture crashing to the ground.
My head keeps telling me to head back inside. My heart keeps me outside just a little while longer. Because wonder doesn’t come without risk. And it never lasts as long as we wish it would.
