I think it's just a cruel twist of nature that humans have such a small window of temperate comfort, maybe between 60 and 80 degrees F. Or maybe modern folks are just wussy. I too try not to complain about the weather anymore; it's pointless and banal, though it does build a certain solidarity in some situations. I grew up in Phoenix where it was too hot, then spent over 20 years in Ithaca NY, where it was too cold...surely there is a more gracious way to relate to the turning of the wheel, no? That's the Pantheist part - honoring the 'God' in everything.
