Hello, Good December
December! A wonderful, beautiful month–the Christmas season is one of my favorite times of year. Filled with so many family traditions, secretive gift-planning, noisy joy and plenty of laughter, this month is both happy and exhaustive.
And some of the best moments of December are those that come with snow falling. I couldn’t tell you how much I love watching it fall, how it can change my dreary day in an instant. I never seem to think of snow as something harsh and freezing, but always as forgiving and graceful. A welcome, forgetful sleep for a weary world.
“Dust of Snow”
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
