camminando | A Walk in Central Park at the End of Storm

The winter storm Grayson, also called the "bomb cyclon" is almost over and protected by several layers of clothing I venture to Central Park. The park has turned into black & white visual memories, loosing his seasoned colors in the grey sky and the overwhelming white of the snow.

Thoughts | 2017 Year Resolution and First Snowstorm in NYC

Uncannily the first snowstorm of 2017 in New York coincides with the first storm of the year in my family life. Uncanny is the adjective which best describes how my personal life events are situated within a general social context. Or perhaps such link is not really uncanny but that be explained in a very fast two-way ripple effect from the private to the public or the personal to the political realm.
    For over two years I have  thrown in the dystopian world of divorce : greed driven strangers dig their claws into the most personal life of confused individuals. There is no regulation to such display of human cruelty and greed: vultures wearing suits do not respect grief or intimate relationships. I am referring to divorce attorneys, one of the worst examples of human nature I have ever encountered.
    The past few years' year resolution have failed, due to struggling with pressure from life events independent from my control. This year I have decided of not making any new year resolution. The acceptance of what I can control and recognition of what I cannot will be driven my resilience plan for the upcoming year.

Life return almost to normal on Sunday, after the second biggest snowstorm recorded in New York City. Snow accumulation reached 63 cm in Central Park, only a few millimeters shy off the 63.8cm recorded in 2006.
It was sunny and cold, yet the snow was already turning into slush.

Winter storm Jonas, the first massive 2016 snowstorm, has arrived to NYC. Impressive record numbers, with blizzard warning 28 inches accumulation at JFK airport. Travel ban has been issued since 2:30 pm this afternoon, no subway or buses.
Below are my first snowscape impressions from a stroll in Central this afternoon at about 3pm.

divorce brutality & healing | Central Park, Walking in the Ramble

Walking has become a metaphor for my life these days —besides providing healing while I am trying to keep my sanity struggling with the divorce brutality. 

During my morning walk in Central Park I kept getting lost in familiar grounds, the Ramble, where I have been walking probably almost hundreds time, in any season.
But I have finally, found sunlight to orient and guide me in the darkness. Quite a metaphor...
