No running today. It’s been snowing since early this morning. Waking up before sunrise, I looked out the window and it was a beautiful blueish white. Now this is the kind of snow that I love! It snowed last night too, but then stopped overnight. Leaning my head outside around 7 pm, I smelled it–fresh, quiet, pure cold. I love that smell and the feel of the cold on my face. This morning, the snow was falling in big fluffy flakes and I was happy to be inside watching it. Although I did enjoy shoveling it too. A nice, light snow. Not heavy at all.
Here are 2 poems I wrote last winter that seem to fit my thoughts about the snow today:
This morning’s view
a white so white
it’s almost blue
or the slight feeling of blue.
Is that what happens when
snow is new
pure still perfect?
No sun yet or ever today
but the hint of blue blinds
what a snow!
