Innocence


There is something so pure about snow.  Its cold, and its white but at the same time it brings such peace.  Recently during a really unusual spell of bad weather that brought about loads of very unexpected snow, I was fortunate to get to see what "real" snow really looks like.  I am African after all, and we do not always have the pleasure of seeing this part of mother nature. 

I put on my warmest clothing, thermal underwear and headed out with wellies, hat and gloves to take a walk in the shin deep snow.  And when I stepped out, the silence was the first thing to become apparent.  It was so quiet!  Eerie but really nice!  The air was fresh and clean.  The snow was white and untainted.

I walked along below the vast blue sky, enjoying the silence, realising that I felt incredibly peaceful.  And that is what I loved most about the snow.  The peace.  The way it seemed to cover up the ugly dry ground, or the dull pavements.  The way everything looked so.....pure!

In contrast to a very hectic week at work, the snow was a blessing,  And although I have spent 35 years of my life, spending Christmas in sunshine and warmth, I have come to appreciate that the snow definitely makes Christmas seem more real.  I get the feeling of peace, which in turn brings a feeling of hope!  And the hope has set the flame in my heart on fire..........I am optimistic with hope!

I know for sure that 2011 is going to be a good year.......


Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind.
