We Await Warmer Weather

The flowers have begun to bloom but it is still cold and grey.
I'm not complaining by any means but I'm looking for the sun.
I look forward to it warming my constant cold hands and feet.
In the meantime, I will post a song that always reminds me of
the warmer days to come.

Reminders

We are always being reminded how small and how short our lives here on earth is.
Sometimes our lives can seem insignificant when compared to those who are suffering and truly need help. What has happened in Japan is just one reason to remind us that mother nature is king.

But it has not been without warning.

It seems that she has given us subtle signs. The stronger than average storms, the strange weather patterns. But she started tapping us on our shoulders long ago, then stomped her feet, then yelled, then finally released her fury.

These things happen. In the areas where you are raised you are aware of the
natural disaster that hits your particular region. I grew up with tornado sirens blaring in the storm ridden sky. Now, I too live in a earthquake prone region.
It is also a reminder that humans can build the "strongest" of buildings able to withstand a natural disaster. But something that can take years to build can be destroyed in a matter of minutes. Is it arrogance of the human race to assume that they can hold a sceptre next to mother nature? The power of the earth that can easily shakes us off in George Carlin's words, "Like fleas". And in the end we always find out who truly reigns supreme.

I adore Rachel Brice. And since I will be starting my belly dancing classes again very soon. I thought I needed to become inspired by one of the best in the business.
