Seasons come, seasons go. We have been enjoying a
prolonged autumn this year. It is late October and it is just now
getting colder at night. Right now, it is forty-three degrees. We have
had one night of very light frost. I confess, it does not disappoint me
in the least.
Fear mongers cry about climate change– which is the latest term used to describe global warming. Doom-sayers speak of ice caps melting and seas rising to swallow-up Florida and Manhattan. I’d like to remind people that in the time of Europe’s greatest development, when most of the great cathedrals were built, the greatest advancements in architecture, art, music, and science, the earth was much warmer than it is now.
In the EARLY COLONIAL PERIOD, Europe experienced a “mini ice age” and the river Thames was frozen. People were ice skating in the shadow of the Tower of London and the London bridge. That was after two centuries of unprecedented warming.
But, I remind you, seasons come and seasons go.
Life is just like the weather and global climate changes. Humanity has always grown. Although it seems we occasionally take one step forward and two steps back– we find our direction and start moving again.
The important thing in life is to create a goal and work toward achieving it. We are at our best when we are working on our goals. Finding your path cannot happen if you have not chosen a destination. So, where do you want to be tomorrow, a week from now, a month, or a year? How about twenty years from today?
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.
