It is funny how humans spend so much time and effort in service of controlling what cannot be controlled. We can make wise choices based on natural tendencies. We can probably rely on winter being cold at some point, so we layer up and adapt to changeable conditions in that context.
That is all we can do: be prepared for whatever arises based on the context. Also, it is important to never assume we can prepare for everything. How flexible can we be? Ten years ago, on a nice sunny day, I walked across the street in a crosswalk and ended up in the hospital. Even layering up cannot prevent that.
May all beings experience the grace of the unknown and discover peaceful awareness inside the wondrous display of change.
