Well, we had snow on Friday. It was freezing cold, my hands were numb and I was almost crying when I got home from the park with the dog.
Saturday it was a gloriously sunny day and all snow had disappeared.

The quote would be:

This too shall pass!

I think source unknown.

I looked it up.

“This too shall pass” is a Persian adage translated and used in several languages.

@TorturedZen, @Josephine_van_Rijn I had thought it was from the Bible, BUT, a quick check proved THAT was wrong LOL …

According to an article from Christianity.com, the phrase may be pinpointed to a well-known figure within the biblical text, that of the wise King Solomon. There is an ancient Jewish story involving the king, where King Solomon wanted to humble his wisest of servants by asking him to find a magic ring that would make a sad person happy and a happy person sad. When the servant couldn’t find such a thing, King Solomon had a ring made bearing this phrase in Hebrew, “Gam ze ya’avor,” which means, “this too shall pass” (attributed to Israel Folklore Archive #126).

I had a dream a very long time ago where I was in a big square with buildings all around it.
There were a lot of people and they were all panicking and running into one direction.
I started to follow those people automatically and a voice told me to go the other way and look for the light.
I found that light coming from a little window, high up a building. I even managed to climb that wall and get through that window.

After that I had to rip up the floorboards and go down a very dark tunnel where something very comforting was embracing me.

I remembered that dream when I had decided to go to a demonstration on Museumplein and woke up that day with a splitting headache.
It’s a square surrounded by houses.
As soon as I realised that was not my way and I decided to stay put, the headache disappeared.

I’m trying to find a fitting quote for a story like this :thinking:
I might just have to make one up.
Here we go:

Disregard your dreams at your own peril
