On Sunday, I was trudging home from church…
in my warm winter coat,
snow pants,
boots,
hat,
gloves,
and I occasionally fell down (somehow always on the nicest, biggest piles of snow? :))…
and while I was thinking about how hard it is to walk with so much “protection”…
I was watching what I thought looked like icing sugar get swept off the (foot high?)snow all around me…
It was beautiful, magical, supernatural…
wonderful.
I thought it so great, that I just plonked myself down into a another big mound of icing sugar snow…
I lay down,
and closed my eyes…
and listened.
I listened to the whistling wind, the snow…
I listened to Winter’s Song.
This caused me to get far behind the people I was walking with, but it was worth it.
I also listened to that song while sledding later on that day…
My sled had taken me further than it had the rest of the day, and I had taken a sharp turn left, into the woods…
So, no-one could see me. I lay there for about twenty seconds before a few friends came rushing up to me, saying “are you ok?”. They must have been scared, because I was lying on my sled still, which had bumped into a pile of wood. (I was fine.)
So that wasn’t the best way to listen, but I encourage you to listen to Winter’s Song by Mother Nature.
No purchase required.
Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to
How’s Winter like everywhere else? I’m currently having my second snowday in a row!
