Springish

The weather we’re having right now is dismal, but I like it.  Weather like this (semi-warm, wet, overcast, but light) is the only kind of weather that reminds me of different days during my 12 years or so of school.  For some reason, this feeling I associate with going to school for many years.  The sunshine days and the snowy days and the cold days I don’t remember, but the rainy ones I do.

It’s rather strange; but still, that feeling is one that I now enjoy.  It’s the same feeling as it used to be, but it’s not necessarily interpreted in the same way.  I wonder if our word for change-which probably is not defined that easily…not just one word, but many, like love-could be aided by that.  Then again, the thought of something being the same just looked at from a different point of view seems to shore up the idea that change does not exist.  It’s just in how you look at it.  But that seems like it couldn’t work, because then you changed your point of view.  And if you can change one thing, why not everything?  Again, the human (English at least) definition and single word for the concept of change (and love, might I stress again-which is much better defined in Greek, although not perfectly-see Love and Choice post) is abysmal.   Love and change are two words that are very poorly defined by humans.  But I digress more than a little.  More on that later, I imagine, incorporating several conversations and feelings.

I like that weather-based feeling now; I used to abhor it.  Guess that’s growing up.  This sort of spring weather is the best weather.  I wish I had more reasoning, but I guess it’s not that easily explained?  It seems that some feelings just aren’t.  It’s the weather of love and change and hope and dreams and finality and beginning.  I could probably stand it for a while.

Although I do believe things in life are good because they are not always around.  Too much of a good thing means that you don’t appreciate it as much.  Struggling towards it or between it makes it that much sweeter.  Not that I aways like struggling.  Again, I digress.  More on the nature of humanity and it’s relevance to struggle in a bit.

It’s interesting how a simple post about how I liked the weather we were having turned into a gateway to two of the ideas I really really wanted to talk about but didn’t know how.  Now I’m a little blog-burned out though.  So let the presses be temporarily silent while I go try to enjoy the last minutes of weather.
