Buffalo Snow Plow
Do you ever just wonder why sometimes events happen so easily?
The opposite of that is that things happen with great difficulty, a lot of input for little to no output. The last few years, I've been mystified by how things just won't happen. The same odds throughout life, and invisible forces just seem to agree with you one year and don't another. Then one day you wake up and realize you've got a stack of chips again. Just enough to give you a little thrill at what might come next.
Like market fluctuations, one year of a bear market followed by four years of a bull. A sharp downswing in life and it's called a buyers market. This is what we do in the face of disappointment and loss, invest our optimism in new ventures and hope for a return. A bear hibernates in the winter and dreams of the spring. It wakes up a bull instead.
Interesting fact, Ted Turner owns most of the buffalo in North America. He's trying to convince ranchers to raise herds of their own. Buffalo do quite well in a cold North American winter. Their hump acts as a snow plow while they lower their head and graze the flat grasses below.
Unlike the bear to bull, I'm always surprised to not wake up something different when life is going my way. Hopes are high but enjoyably so.
