Even though it was kind of warm and even
though the wind was mild mannered and sort of polite for once, still, the day
seemed tough and weighted and that strange kind of arduous that greets you with
its weird toothy smile as soon as you open your eyes to the day. Which just
happens. To all of us. Sometimes. Unless you have an exempt clause. Tucked into
your pocket. At birth. Which mostly we don't .
So
it's even more confusing if we have any kind of favorite weather at all ,and
the scrumpt-ed up weird toothy smiling foreboding day is emerging and moving
along perfectly well on a perfectly nice kind of day.
Though I mostly don't play
favorites. By nature. Which may be one of the things that was tucked into my
own pocket when I landed here , all geared up and ready for my own life.
So for me there is no favorite
offspring and no favorite time to kiss my beloved and no favorite time of day
and no favorite colt and no favorite four legged at home ( or any legged/ no
legged/ finned/scaled/ feathered/ little tiny pinked footed) .
But I do confess that I have a
constitutional need for some kind of weather and weather variations and please
please not too many days to go by without the great solace of limitless kinds
of go-ahead-surprise-us clouds and fog and dark overcast skies and ominous
pervasive precipitation.
But I got waylaid there when I only
really meant to say that we are perfectly capable even on the most lovely or
pouring or freezing or darkened days of having the most miserable suckiest time
of all, and feeling all kinds of most horrible alone, no matter what the hell
you believe it or I believe.
So that sometimes the very best
thing for some of us, like me, and possibly you, is to get to drive past
someplace endless with an innate capacity for comfort that eclipses any
emotional concept of unfathomable endlessness, and just be grateful, if you're
still with me here,
that there are creatures like
Kestrels whipping by overhead in their inimitable way and people who form
Kestrel Trusts and work to raise money to put land aside for the wild creatures
and then insects and microbes and lost dreams and sauntering midnight foxes,
On a day when we are lucky enough to
have some good-enough-for-now semblance of democracy despite electoral vote
scams and delegate plans. And we can go on down to our little neighborhood
school and cast that vote for that really best-one-in-quite-awhile election
dream.
