Snow

There are few things that can match the amount of enjoyment I get when I see snow.

I love the snow.

Today is the first snow in Kansas City. It is a peaceful snow, and it lands gently on the ground. Such snow, makes me feel like I am in a snow globe without being violently shaken.

The snow falls helplessly and beautifully to its quiet landing. There is something majestic about the snow. How it descends with wonder, and how it seems to do it so elegantly.

Snow calms my soul and it invigorates my body.

Snow makes my face shine with a smile, and makes make heart grow full.

The way that it sounds when you compress your foot into it, is a sound that makes me feel like a child.

The snow reminds me of friends and family from years past, and gives me hope for wonderful memories for years to come.

Snow breaks me--it makes me find that child like heart inside of me, and then it brings it out. I am reminded of sledding. I am reminded of snowball fights. I remember the joy of returning to a warm, friendly house, after adventures in the snow. I am reminded of Hot chocolate. I am reminded.

I know that my fondness is not experienced by everyone, and that is perfectly alright. I just hope that you are able to be still, and soak in the majesty of it all.
