The things that I have made over the years of my life have taught me so much, and in so many different ways. They have different lessons depending on the period of my life that I’m engaging with them and they change over time to me. There are many pieces in this building that have also changed over time so, to me, that is a bit of a kind of a life. There is a bit of something alive in that intersection.

It’s so cold today that it looks like somebody spilled glitter all over the snow.

The whole family came along for a hike through the newly fallen snow today.

Yesterday I waxed poetic about walking in the snow but today it is 8° and I’m not doing that to myself.

I don’t often take walks in the morning but, when I do, it’s because of snow. Today was a real treat as I lucked into making the first tracks in last night’s snowfall ahead of the plow man.

I wish I had enough of a writers brain to properly express the profound feelings that cross me when I stand alone in the muffled quiet of a thick snowfall. We were formed to appreciate such things and it feels right when I connect with a wonder of life such as this.
