Snow bound Love

Yesterday I embarked on an epic journey throughout snow-ridden Tulsa. Along the way I encountered many a fallen vehicle to Winter's prowess, pictured here is but one of the accolades this snow fall has acquired. Safe to say, someone didn't get their milk today. (It's a Borden Milk truck) I imagine Tulsa residents can live without their leche for a few days, though after a stroll through multiple food stores it is evident that people like their eggs, bananas, and toilet paper. I almost think a small country could be run off the three of those.


In conquering the lands, I fulfilled both my pent-up desire for adventure and an errand run, as I returned with necessities to frivolities ranging from drinking water to gin! Speaking of gin, I'll be back. And back I am, colorfully intense drink in hand. Now seems a suitable and necessary time to toast, so foremost here's a cheers to love, ever deserving of praise and admiration! A second toast to innovation and new exciting ventures. I've been having a host of inspirations as of late and I see that the government is doing something to prepare for the creative forces that are bursting forth about the country. A 'Startup America' alliance has been formed, backed by Obama and marked with the brand of such big companies as IBM, Intel, HP, AOL, and Facebook. The gist seems to be for the companies to pour millions into an incubator fund and Facebook is taking a good step in organizing jump starting events across the states. Smart Planet Blog - Startup America. I've been thinking about entrepreneurial incubators and I feel we're on to something here; I'm very glad to see Facebook involved.

While the snows of life may slow you down, never stop venturing for that which your heart yearns. In celebration of this season and all those lovers yearning for their respective loves, I present to you both an awesome picture over which I claim no ownership and this little piece I just crafted:





Season's Love, An Ode of the Heart... for February

This month sees the cold fall of snow. As Winter's majestic hand beckons the earth sleep below a spotless throw. Though through this hibernation the heart of earth resonates, its pulse drums anticipation like the Egyptian nation.
Now when this cool-temped temptress lifts her kiss, the world rejoices at the sheer magnificence of the Sun's bliss. She casts her rays of untainted love to every mount, man and shrub. The earth springs forth in holy green glory as my heart radiates from the beauty she emanates.
Oh what marvelous light!
That surrenders my heart and renders my soul to the ground.
The wind: her graceful walk, caresses my spirit with each wispful step.
The sun: her grin, her smile redirects the flow of the Nile and brings life to a once barren land. The trees rise, their aged wisdom clearing a path to the skies. I look up-
-Suddenly,
I'm face to face.
The purest Beauty is known in this place.
