Snowflakes
Ecclesiastes says “for everything there is a season.”
You say “It’s tax season;
it’s baseball season; it’s allergy season;
I’ve got to season the steak on the barbie;
besides, I don’t have time to change the world.”
Goethe tells us of the genius, power and magic in boldness.
You say “What can I do, anyway?
The foxes are guarding the henhouse;
the juggernaut is out of control;
we’re all just snowflakes in a windstorm.”
The mountain asks “Which snowflake, falling,
will be the one to send down the avalanche
to change this entire landscape?”
