Boundaries
Snow falls gently on the ground;
- Where is Spring?
As humans we often expect things to be a certain way. We like order, we like lists. We like categories and classifications and well-defined boundaries. We have a name for each season and we expect the weather in each season to be a certain way. But when does one season end and the other begin?
Cycles are ever-present, that much is obvious, but these patterns can only ever be general ones. Nature will not be boxed in. It can snow in Spring, it can be cold in Summer, or warm in Winter. If we can learn to live with that, we will be happier, and the same can be said of life. The sooner we learn to blur our boundaries, the better.

So, to truly live outside the box, the box must not exist!

Ahhh we’re all animals still deep down! Our poor brains are so wired to classify and organise, all geared to say “Friend or foe” and “Fight or flee”. A confused little brain’s attempt at grasping the unknowable.
That said, it’s a damned good thing the English are all stuck on that little island! =P
