Kindness is like snow – it beautifies everything it covers…
— Khalil Gibran
On our drive yesterday to the Cedars, we barely saw any snow. Usually, around this time of year, the ski slopes in Lebanon are blanketed with thick, fresh snow. This year, however, the ski lifts are empty, and the muddy mountains are playing host to restless hikers–hungry for adventure in a winter without snow. Today, one of my colleagues, who’s hoping for some snow next month, quoted an old saying (which in Arabic rhymes): “Save your wooden logs for the month of March.”
