The Grace of Snow
~
a blanket of white
soothes and calms my soul
with the purity of love
comes a fresh adventure
~
the grace of snow
brings my spirit home
body and mind united
refreshed and ready to love
~
We had a brief and surprise dusting of snow Saturday afternoon. It was just enough to create a beautiful white blanket across the landscape. Trees, yard and spring flowers were covered in a blanket of love.
I love snow along with the feelings of play and joy that spring from my heart. This is probably connected to the many happy hours spent playing in the snow as a child. I would build snowmen, forts, and snow angels, and sled for hours whenever it snowed.
May we enjoy and appreciate the dance of seasons across our lives. Blessings, Brad

Snow is such a fun to me, too! I am in NJ and it’s pouring down bad here 🙂

Lovely words and yes, just enough snow to thoroughly enjoy 🙂 Where I grew up in the southeastern corner of England we had very little snow and so when it did….oh my goodness we went mad. I also love making snow angels…which I learned to do in the States. Thank you and hope you enjoy a lovely Tuesday…Janet 🙂

Getting pummeled with snow up here in the North East. Due 12″ to 18″ after tomorrow ends. Yikes! Makes for a very cozy day inside next to the wood stove. So thankful I do not have to go out in this blizzard. Always something to be grateful for if one just looks….Have a happy Brad…VK 🙂

Good for you Brad. Looks like we won’t be getting that last storm here in Romania. Could sure use an extra dose of that grace of snow.

We’ll send the grace anyway! 🙂 How much snow is typical in Romania?

Thanks Brad. I know I sound whiney, but I can sure use it (the grace).
Annual snowfall varies quite a bit. Last year we had 3 dustings in Bucharest, but over a meter in the nearby foothills (and I was out of country for all of them). This year, we’ve enjoyed several big storms, but I suspect Spring is here to stay now.

Lovely. I enjoy snow at first fall, I do a quick walk through then head back to the warmth of indoors and then vicariously enjoy it—like as you’ve so wonderfully described here😊
