Rain and Snow on the Mountain

Jalál (Glory), 15 Qawl (Speech) 176 B.E. - Saturday, December 7, 2019

Rain

It's another beautiful cloudy autumn day in Las Vegas. I looked out the front door (never mind the fact that I don't have a backdoor) and noticed that the sidewalk appears damp. This suggest that it rained a bit during the night. Rain is necessary. Rain is needed. When it rains this time of year there is a good chance it will turn to snow in the upper elevations. Snow in the upper elevations means that it will be cold in the Las Vegas valley. It also means that I can go outside, look up at Mount Charleston, and see snow on the mountain. I can see snow, without the effort of driving to it. I can see snow without the inconvenience and danger of going outside and walking or playing in it.

Snow on the Mountain

Snow on Mount Charleston
means that I can go outside,
look up at The Mountain,
and enjoy the memories
that the sight of snow brings.
