The Snowflakes Ballet

Every year as winter is setting in, Mr. Frost makes his first visit. Young and old are already anticipating the first snow to greet its magical, playful  Snowflakes.

The snowflakes ballet is a true joy to watch, a dance of light cotton flakes that let our thoughts wander to different places: DREAMLAND.

A feeling of no barriers, no worries, and wonderful lightness. Snowflakes bring us back to our childhood. The joy of seeing snow-blanket-covered trees, streets, fields, forests,  birdhouses, flowerpots, railings, and street signs.

To touch, smell and play with snow feels like the first time every time. It’s a real MIRACLE! Ready for snow angels, sledding, and bringing Mr. Snowman back to life.

Then, there is Mr. Winter Storm, who has a much different personality. Many times so angry and stormy and overextending his visit for weeks. He has bitter-cold winds in his knapsack, forcefully interfering and changing the tune from snow ballet to snow river dancing. A forceful pounding, blowing the poor little flakes in various directions, creating confusion, drama, and misery.

But somehow, we manage what Mother Nature is giving us. What choices do we have?

KEEP DANCING!!!
