The snow has blanketed the earth and there is such quiet about. As the sun
shines, the snow sparkles with such beauty. It's like a thousand diamonds that
sparkle when the snow glistens in the sun.
It seems so appropriate that the world should have Winter... to rest. There is
so much to prepare for, with Spring just around the corner, and all the activity
that Summer brought with it.
Skiing through the woods, I can even smell the freshness of the snow. The
silence, as the snow falls, has me engulfed in thought. I see fresh tracks of
those wood critters who have been searching for food.
I feel their eyes upon me as I ski pass them, and know their presence. They stay
quiet... so as not to disturb the day... and not to be seen. We are as one in
the quiet of the woods on a snowy day.
It would be a good place to stop here and rest. The trees are laden with snow... makes me think of snow ghosts, and some branches even have remnants of ice
frozen on them.
As the sun shines, the snow begins to melt on the trees and the branches are
freed of their burdens of heavy snow. The branches appear to weep with the
melting of the ice.
It is not a tear of sadness however that is shed, only an acknowledgment of
change and that's the beauty of the quiet of the wood... it displays itself so
well.
To acknowledge the quiet and peace, is to know that I am such a part of this.
That is the way of it... I am an integral part of the snow, the sun, the quiet
the world and it too is a part of me... that is the way of the circle.
