Winter is Coming!

John Constable. A winter landscape with with figures on a path, a footbridge and windmills beyond.

Ah, my beloved children, you must remember that winter is before you! Old age is your winter. Your frost, and snow, and rain, and storms—are all yet to come. Sorrow, pain, sickness, death, and judgment—will all come with old age. Happy are those who get ready for it early.
