A Month

Given that a Jupiter year is equal to about twelve Earth years, then a month on Earth is only equal to 1/144th of the Jupiter year. On the other hand, Jupiter whips around its own axis once every ten hours. The months crawl by but the days fly.

What happens in a month? It's started to rain, which is accompanied by a temperature drop. I read a book. I changed jobs. Weeds grew in the front yard. We gave thanks. We counted the hours. I started a story. Played a little ball. Talked. Listened. Wrote. Stared. Wondered. Felt. Ran. Walked, a lot. Friends visited. Friends left. Life. Love. Joy. Pain. Christmas shopping. Excessive amounts of typing. Home. Somewhere it is snowing. THIS. THIS. This.

Another month lays before us all--even the mighty Jupiter.
