ICED WINDOWS, FROSTED VISION, revisited
To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.
Aristotle
White sky and ground
blend into a seamless horizon of gray
where snow-encased branches rise
as part of both threat and beauty.
Darkness and slick roads threaten travelers.
Glistening ponds and crystal trees
tempt artists and treat the spirit.
I kick off my boots,
let them dry inside a warm house,
and allow my toes to find feeling again.
Then I embrace bitter and sweet
for as long as each experience lasts, in order to live
inside the fullness of each moment.
