The snow that fell overnight was a gift.....everything is clean, white and unsullied. This morning as the sun warmed the hemlock trees their branches released, and the snow powder sifted through their needles. The wind carried it in wisps and plumes of white, like decending spirits returning home to earth.
Crows, wearing righteous black cloaks stood out against the "irreligious" snow that piled on the bare branches of the trees. They appeared to be talking amongst themselves.....making plans, complaining, who knows....telling stories of things that happened long ago....or perhaps naming this particular snow and recognizing its significance in the turning of the wheel.
