Interlude: Regarding My Apprehension of the Perfection of All Moments, vis-a-vis My Relationship with the End of Ski Season

It's not uncommon in Buddhist literature to read something along the lines of, "When the mind is still, the essential perfection of each moment reveals itself."

Two days ago, I shared a brief story about my recent Perfect Day. But lest I inadvertently suggest that I have attained some lasting equanimity about all things as they arise and pass away, let me share this little tidbit: We're in the final days of ski season, a season in which I got to put boards to snow on something like 65 days between December and now, yet I feel pretty cranky about it ending. It still feels much too soon.

Yes, that's right: I am arguing with spring about its not being winter.
