Inclement Predictions

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

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

Vesta M. Kelly

There is something so peaceful about watching snow gently fall. The flakes look so innocent and humble, just like ourselves when we are first born. Intriguing when we think how each snowflake is unique, like we are individualistic as well. This white fluff can be creatively scooped into varying images, similar to the way we create personas. 

The innocence of snow is temporary as when it is shoveled to the curb, it soaks up black liquid debris. The evening temps drop and the cold hardens this substance, turning it into slippery and icy mess. The morning warmth then melts it into a disgusting slush. Unless, of course, it forms shapes together.

Our hearts, so pure and humble go through similar sequences. Misfortune taints our  innocence and often dismantles life as we have known it. We can shape shift into ice or   melt into a very hot mess. The difference is our ability to prepare for inclement predictions and create appropriate shelters.
