the jura and the saleve are two of the mountains seen from our balcony in geneva. yesterday when i glanced in the direction of the jura i saw the mountain and got the impression that it was nearer than usual. a simple explanation became obvious: the peak of the mountain was covered with the first snow of the season...looking at the mountain i felt a fang of sadness...for me snow and winter is a sad affair...but i am not complaining for the simple reason that winter also gives us a breather from the daily grind of living...it is the season when earth itself needs to re new and re invent itself...trees need to shed leaves...and the turning of colors of the leaves itself is a beautiful experience...
