Watching Snow Fall, Softly

Gentle flakes of snow larger than silver dollars come decending slowly from heaven above unto earth below. Nature stands motionless in deft admiration, for here in the forest stillness is sublime. The animals, birds and trees absorbed within exalted silence watch with awe the purity of a fresh-white-calm caressing creation. There is a tranquil grace in the complete covering of this crystal canopy. Everything, everywhere is tacitly touched, as if saying: ' All is known, all is understood.' Later the raging forces of storm may arise with full fury against this temporary picture of peace on earth, causing chaos and confusion; but, here and now in this brief visit into the Spirit of the Garden of Eden, all are divinely granted a glimpse of the purity and perfection of the tender dream of God, given for the hope of all creation.
