Snow

As mentioned in the first post, I came up with the idea for this blog by watching the snow so, obviously, I decided this post should be about just that. Snow. So, here it goes...

A few days ago it was snowing, and when I got home, I stopped for a moment before walking inside and let the snow fall silently around me. In the distance, I heard birds chirping. Being the only noise I heard, the sound seemed out of place. Later that night I was looking out the window, watching the snow again. Where the streetlight shined, I could see just how many sparkles were falling soundlessly from the sky, making the road shimmer in the dim light where they landed. Watching this happen, a feeling of calm fell over me. Everything was quite and still, and the earth seemed pure again, washed by the stainless white of the snowflakes. The scene was truly breathtaking. It is an example that there is beauty in this world after all.
