Winter

by Andrew A. Anissi

The real reason I love winter is that it forces humanity to come face to face with Nature and respect its power and beauty. Maybe people do that anyway, but not in Manhattan, where all natural aspects of the island were flattened out and replaced with total artificiality. On a winter weekend in Manhattan, snowy as it is today, only the brave and strong are confident enough to venture outdoors, while the weak and the lacking in spirit huddle together crying for Nature to relent and provide an atmosphere of total comfort so that they can go back to ignoring it.
