Standing in the Snow
[it's snowing outside...]
Why is snow white?I've always wondered this.... I mean I've always known the science behind it: when you shave ice it has a kind of off white color, well that shaved ice is snow.
But what I mean is WHY is snow white?? Out of all the colors in the rainbow God could have chosen from--he chose white.
Purity.
Clean.
Happy.
When you're outside standing in the snow waiting for your train or you're inside rocking on the rocking chair knitting staring out the window, it looks the same.
I think of when I was a toddler and used to make snow angels in my backyard.
I think of Christmas and sitting by the warm fireplace just looking at the window wondering the magical mystery of.....snow.
Whether I am shoveling snow or playing in it, I always have a sense of relief and relaxation. Just going outside to watch as the snow puts the streets and house to sleep with a blanket of purity. I love it.
In the snow....
just there
just watching
just standing.
