This is a wild winter, snow is everywhere and in huge piles. It is a challenge to move around the communities as every driveway is heaped on both sides with snow, you have to traverse knowing at all times that you cannot see who is backing or driving out of their driveways and those drivers cannot see you. We all have to be a little more careful, more watchful and know that we are all in the same place, a place where you cannot see over the snowbanks. There is a generosity in travelling in this kind of condition, a sort of resigned idea that we can all get through this together with a little more attention and a lot of grace. And maybe its not just the snow piles, there are lots of things going on that blocks our clear view of each other, the future, what is going to happen next. How can we navigate in these blind spots? I think the same applies. Acknowledging that we are all in this same situation where the piles are high and rising and we can’t always see each other clearly. Grace, by definition means that we just take a pause before deciding, offer a generous view in our assessment of the situation and that we are open to other interpretations and paths. At any moment the snow could start to melt, and we can move freely with clearer vision, but for now, we know that we are limited to only what we can see in the narrow views between the snowbanks. Let’s journey forth together, paying close attention and taking care of each other.
