Winter Treasures

Winter provides our world a blanket of snow, full of penetrating, quiet peacefulness.  If you listen hard enough, you can hear the snowflakes sigh in relief as they land safely at our feet.  As the sun lowers and gives way to frosty temperatures, previously hidden particles appear in midair, dancing in the brightening moonlight and enjoying some momentary attention.  The solace of winter can provide restful recovery for the seasons that lay ahead.
