The drip dripping of the snow off the roof. The fog seeming to come up out of the ground. The sun going down over the horizon. The trees rippling in the wind. The water flowing in the hill. The time taken to write something.

But do you ever wonder how long it takes something to happen? Like the snow to melt or the sun to rise. Some of these things take the same amount of time every time they happen, whereas others take different amounts every single time. A never ending cycle of events. But does that really matter. Cycles happen every day, through every hour to minute to second.

If you watch the snow dripping of the roof through a window, you can see that slowly and steadily the snow is dissipating. Melting away into water that will flow down the hill until it reaches the river that will in turn eventually reach the ocean. But how long does this take to happen? Days, Months, Years? Will anyone ever really know the answer to that? Maybe one day, but most likely not. Nature and the events of nature are always changing, never staying constant. Like the events of life. Something happens in life that will make a change. Whether good or bad, no one knows, not until that change has played itself out. Change can be good, for the most part, but maybe the wondering of how long it will take is the worst part about change. Never knowing, always wondering.
