Dawn
I put on the day
like a prayer shawl
and count my beads
of gratitude.
We had our first fall of snow, and everything is so beautiful outside, I can only repeat these words, written a few years back on a similarly snowy morning, to describe the way the beauty makes me feel.
Happy Winter, everyone!
ah! the mesmerising beauty.............
ReplyDeleteSnow is so quiet, I had no idea we had more of it until I tried to open the back door to let Lindy out. But it certainly is beautiful, and the paving crew can't work in it, so I'm grateful for the quiet.
ReplyDeleteLuv, K

It doesn't snow where I live. And looking at those gorgeous pictures of a snow-covered landscape, I feel desperate to be there. Also love the beautiful, poetic line accompanying the pics. :P

Hey Sherry--thanks for your kind words-- and what pics and poem--beautiful and wise. We have had a very beautiful snow here--I did not take many pics as my phone/camera kept dying in the cold--but it was just stunning--and yours looks amazing too--it is a beautiful time of year, I find. Thanks. k.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Sherry. Thank you for the pictures. I appreciate snow in pictures more than in real life. I don't like the cold. But the beauty is breathtaking. I like your short poem - it says it all.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of counting our beads of gratitude...a wonderful visual image for me to remember.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you shared them again, Sherry...the prayer shawl is so sacred and fits the imagery so well. Beautiful indeed. ♥
ReplyDeleteThe snow has melted but winter air is so cold ~ But I am counting my beads of gratitude too ~
