Before the blizzard began last night I was so done with snow for the year. When Jon suggested that I might want to get up early to photograph the snow covered world I told him, “No way, I’ve had enough snow for the year!” But here we are with a big
April Fools Day
snow covered world.
All Heaven and Earth
Flowered white obliterate…
Snow…unceasing snow
― Japanese Haiku
I told Jon that I had no desire to make photographs of more snow. And I that I was fed up with winter. But then I looked out the windows this morning. And the world was so beautiful. How can I not take in this beauty and feel gratitude for it?
Well, I know now. I know a little more how much a simple thing like a snowfall can mean to a person.
― The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
The pale blue sky against the snow covered landscape is like poetry. The grace of the tree branches against the sky, a song of beauty. I let it all soak in to my soul and feel blessed by it. Tomorrow I may be tired of all the snow again and wish it is gone but today I bask in these moments of beauty and give thanks for everything!
Have a happy and beautiful April Fools Day!
May you walk in beauty.
