Snow has a way of transporting you to a tranquil place. Watching it slowly trickle down covering its surroundings in a blanket of white. As if to say, “Sleep, you’ve been awake so long. Let me embrace you, cover you and comfort you, just sleep.”
As I write this I find those words true on so many levels. A state ablaze with wildfires, the earth so desperate for moisture. From firefighters who have been battling the fires to ranchers and people that have lost everything to others hoping maybe their house/ their town got spared. From a personal level of grief… from losing a friend. From lost traditions and vacations and life in the ‘before times’.
Today I’m going to choose to see the comfort and feel nature in it’s splendor wrapping me in a blanket. Today in going to find peace… even if for a moment. My momma brain is slightly having an issue since this is Ashlynn’s first snow since she got her license and she’s working today. She made it safely to work… she’s mostly good at calling when she gets to and leaves places.
I’m also going to find comfort making chili and zucchini bread today… but first… coffee and candles… and snow.
Let nature embrace you today and have a peaceful first or third cups.
