Standing in the woods, with a heavy snow falling, is just such a peaceful place
Many times I experience that exact comforting stillness. When in a northern climate, I put off shoveling snow until midnight. The surrounding enveloping stillness, the fresh glistening snow, inhaling full breaths of that cold exhilarating frigid air...all just energizes, yet calms my soul.
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.
