Genesis Allowed Is Not
So yesterday I’m reading about how there’s snow in New Orleans and I wonder why that’s such a big deal. Yea, okay, it’s like the most snow they’ve ever had and they almost never get snow but “come on” I say to myself, “It’s just frozen water”.
Then today we get snow. At home it’s lightly sticking, half way to work it’s sticking heavily to the point where you need to step carefully, and then at work it’s raining with barely a trace of snow.
I’m running out of clever blog titles to reference my earth-is-becoming-genesis theory so I’m just going to start randomly quoting Star Trek III whenever the need arises. To review my theory is that Earth is increasingly sharing a major property of the genesis planet, specifically David’s observation “all weather known to exist within a few hours walk”.
I tell myself that at least I’m not one of those people who complain the second any kind of new weather arrives but then I go for lunch and the wind has picked up, along with some wind-chill. On the way back from lunch my fingers are freezing and turning red. I’m reminded of the beginning of that Sarah McLachlan song Full Of Grace…
“Winter here’s cold
And bitter
It’s chilled us to the bone
I haven’t seen the sun for weeks”
Sure felt like I was experiencing what she was singing about.
Then I remembered she’s lived in the same city I do since 1988!
It IS the Vancouver winter she’s singing about.
I’ll be damned.
Took me awhile to connect the dots on that one, that song’s been out since 1997 and I swear I got the album the week it came out.
