It Aught to Be ...

"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but

just look what they can do when they stick together."

Vesta M. Kelly

Ice covered the pavements and then a light dust of snow. A day later four inches of beautiful snowflakes gently fell to the ground.  As I tried to individualize each flake, I became mesmerized by their grace and delicacy.  

This white fluff has stirred the child within the housed adults.  They have taught the children how to make snow angels and then snowmen.  Neighbors gathered together taking turns manning the sleds skidding down the steep street into the cul-de-sac.  

As if the COVID virus hasn't held us still enough, this lathering of ice and snow has sealed the  neighborhood.  Families have shared sleds, borrowed eggs or milk, and exchanged laughter.  The lovely spirit of snow has joined these common dwellers with peace and calm, as it aught to be.
