December 7: Element Water: Snow/Winter Wonderland


I live in a country where most of the country doesn’t receive snowfall. Only the mountains in the north and Baluchistan regions get snowfall. So it’s a rarity for us. This snowfall was in 2019, February.

The snow falling gently
Covers everything in a white blanket
There’s a hush in the air, silence reigns
As if everything is in anticipation
Of something miraculous happening

Every fragile snowflake
Teaches us a lesson
There’s strength in unity
And something as soft as snow
Can be formidable when joined

Snow stops the aging of trees and fruits
A hibernation of all the vegetation till spring
Teaching us that there’s still hope in adversity
That spring and rebirth follows winter and death

➰➰➰

I love the Lewis Carroll quote 😍
We have a hard frost here this morning, but quite a few parts of the UK are struggling with snow.

Awww, I love this. It’s rare for us to get snow here in Southern California as well, but we’ve literally just started to receive some. It’s a wonderful feeling when it comes around.

My ‘north’ gets four seasons. But snow not so much. In all the time I’ve lived here we have had two or three blizards. The ice mix we were supposed to get – we got some ice in the night but it is rain now. We aren’t getting heavy snow, though we might get some snow for a couple of hours but then just more rain. So we probably will be able to go about our activities and plans. Just to be safe though some areas did close schools though more just had a two hour delay today.
California has several climates too. I have relatives who live where it is warm. But if they want snow they can drive north. 🙂 Stay warm and safe.
