let it snow

The snow falls and a layer of clean and crisp is carpeted over the earth. The world looks new, untouched - free of the pollution and the rot, the garbage and the destruction. It is simple, and fresh - like a brand new ground to walk on. There is something unique about the first snow fall... perhaps its the realization that indeed it is now winter (despite the unseasonably warm temperature's we were having up until a few days ago). Regardless the reason, there is nothing quite like it. Coincidentally the first snow fall landed on the first day of my third trimester. So for me, the snow fall is a reminder of what this winter is bringing us. The snow means, just as the season is changing, so are our lives.
