Quiet Required

Days of snow here are few and far between, so every snow is like a first. This day, folks seemed unusually taken with it - maybe because the forecast really missed this one. So a whole city of us found ourselves surprised... Surprised by the beauty of it's falling, by the school dismissals, by the icy rides, car strandings, treks home, accidents, and by the impossibility of "normal." But the spirit everywhere today is joy. Tomorrow, I think, Peace.
