snow falls gently I am deeply comforted - like watching mother knit a blanket. All is quiet ‘cept the deep low rhythm of my breathing I’ve heard this breath before floating in water, ears covered like the unborn waiting to see what will happen, a quiet pause before excitement
I was born amid snow flurries falling, like sprightly angels come to deliver me. Walked nine miles in a blizzard once, drove a hundred and fifty in a blinding one. As a child, snow seduced me to climb wind swept mountain drifts, to sled, at thrilling speeds, tear singed cheeks the annual price.
snow, exquisite threatening severity tucked fiercely behind its graceful beauty - No amorality heaped upon us in all those drifts, no societal indignities like greedy thieves eying our assets, just a larger reality we learn to adjust to and in learning, burnish our lives with warm memories we’re ever grateful for.

Walked nine miles in a blizzard once,
drove a hundred and fifty in a blinding one.
As a child, snow seduced me to climb
wind swept mountain drifts, to sled,
at thrilling speeds, tear singed cheeks
the annual price.
