Look outside. See. It's snowing!
Peering out of the frosted window glass. Snow on the ledge outside, to see a dark and white world. The sky lightening behind the low grey cloud enough to bring a sense of day but no light is needed to bring joy. Snow brings its own lightness.
Watching your boots make dents in a soft carpet and listening to snow drop from branches; listening to the silence in-between. Aware of your body inside its snug layers but your face slapped red by the cold. Breath billowing in front of you.
Looking. Looking around. Watching the tiny movements in the hedges, the odd chirrup or click of a bird. Watching smoke start to curl reluctantly from chimneys. Listening for the first shouts of joy from children in the quiet air.
Time up.
Inspiration: It snowed today. Could you tell? Just some thoughts and images as I walked out in it this morning.
