Snow

I think one of the reasons that God gave us snow was to remind us what silence sounds like. There's a magical silence that comes when snow falls. Everyone retreats inside, everything is under a heavy blanket, and the snow absorbs all sound. Some people can't stand silence, I don't know how they keep their sanity. Silence is a magical thing, sometimes we don't realize how much noise we fill our lives with. Silence helps us stop and refresh, to know what peace is. I don't find that enough, it seems like there's always a noise. After a while it just all blends together and I can't hear God or myself.

I'm sad that with the snow I can't just go play. I have to be grown up and go to work. Maybe I'll call in a snow day tomorrow :)
