The weather is still, even with the super-doppler gizmos and the latest wham-slam graphics on the TV, a crap shoot. Today was supposed to be rainy as of yesterday, but just cloudy as of three hours ago. It’s raining right now.
Yesterday, we were supposed to have had inches and inches of rain…we got a tenth of an inch.
We think we’re so smart. We think we can look ahead twelve hours or so and tell everyone what Mother Nature has up her sleeve. But we can’t even see three hours ahead sometimes, let alone three days.
There’s a lesson there (somehow, you just knew that I was going to get to that). We don’t have the foggiest notion of what life holds for us thirty minutes from now, let alone 30 days or years from now. The thing is, regardless of what we think lies on the other side of death’s veil, we need to be ready to leave this existence at any time. And most of us aren’t even close to being ready because we don’t like to think about it.
And we think we’re so smart.
