SNOW

Snow can be those thick heavy flakes or those light fluffy kinds. No two snowflakes are alike. Some people go through their whole lives and never see snow, some people see it every day of their lives. Snow can cover everything, cover your driveway so you cannot leave. Cover the roads so the roads are slippery and treacherous. But you can work and shovel your sidewalks, driveway, clear the roads, so you can get around in the snow. Snow can be piled up high all around you, but bare in spots you clear away. You can get buried in the snow. We can play in the snow. Ski, snowshoe, snowmobile, build a snowman or an igloo. Snow melts in most places, it can snow one to two inches or one to two feet. Snow is cold. It can be sunny and snow all around you at the same time. Snow can blow in your face so you cannot see. Snow melts when it warms up, snow goes away when springtime comes, and snow returns when winter comes around again. Snow is a lot like life, heavy at times, light, and fluffy at others. Life traps us under a heavy snowstorm and life is joyous, light and playful as we ride on the snow. Snow melts and we are warm, sunny, and cozy. Then we go through the same cycle again and again. Hopefully!
