Mother Nature’s perfect artistry is seldom more evident than in the
magnificently balanced structure of the lovely and delicate six-sided
flakes that cascade from the heavens. To walk through falling snow is to
immerse oneself in life’s never-ending rhythms. We understand and
accept that the snow beneath our feet, while tangible and powerful, is
only one aspect of a larger cycle of world-altering weather events. The
fluffy snowflake that floats to earth and joins its siblings brings the
transient joy of leisurely days off and smiling snowmen, yet will one
day experience a transformation in purpose. Without hesitation, as the
weather grows warmer, each beautiful flake melts and becomes one with
trickling rivulets, singing streams, and swiftly running rivers.
Whereas, at the start of its existence, the snow serves to drape the
world in beauty, it ends its season on earth by nourishing the land. (Daily Om)
