 Ben in Snowmageddon in DC ('09). Although it's incredibly hard to believe, it's supposed to snow here in DC today. In October! Totally crazy. But, this forecast got me thinking about snow, and winter, and how much I love the first real snow of the season (not what today is going to be)...which then got me thinking about how much I love all of Robert Frost's poems about walking in the snowy woods. One of his shortest, most subtle poems that mentions snow, "Dust of Snow," is below. It's a perfect example of one of my favorite topics--how the simple things in life can bring us joy!
Dust of Snow The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued. And sometimes, that's all it takes to turn things around. So take a moment to stop and take in your surroundings today--no matter where you are or what you're doing. It just may bring you a bit of happiness that you wouldn't have found, otherwise... Namaste! Mary Catherine Comments are closed.
