Snow

Particles of water vapor which when frozen in the upper air fall to earth as soft, white, crystalline flakes.

If you want to relax, take a walk in the woods during a gentle snow fall. The quiet is mystical and the sights beautiful. The snow dampens any noise and provides a unique quietness. The birds, frogs and insects that may be vocal in the summer are quiet in the winter. If you need a place to hear yourself or God speak go to the woods during a snow fall.

For the ultimate in body stress relief, lay yourself down in some deep snow. The snow will conform to your body and not create pressure points. If you have on water repellent clothing, the snow will serve as an insulator and keep you warm. It will provide the feeling of an eternal nap.

Instead of driving in it, shoveling it or complaining about it, embrace it. Share it with a friend.

Snowflakes
by Linda A. Copp

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winters night.
Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.
