What is it about standing in the dark, when it is snowing quietly? You can actually hear the snow fall, and it is such a peaceful sound, and the whole feeling is one of peace.

A couple of my favs from “ A Child’s Garden of Verses”’ are “My Shadow”, and “The Swing”. So simple, yet so endearing.

For me... it's my version of a 'fortress of solitude'. I'm alone within the elements. Alone with/in my thoughts. The snowy landscape provides a temporary damper from the world's clutter. No longer assaulted from the electronics we have allowed to possess so much of our time, our senses. The snow also provides a brief respite from the dirtiness of todays society...provides an altered world to relish that peace.
For me...
