A PLEASANT STORY UNTIL IT SNOWS By Bob Perks I love the quiet snow brings. My world is loud and busy. Until it snows. I love the pure, white satin finish snow brings. My world is dusty, dirty and very dull since summer faded leaving me longing for rose colored days and lilac scented nights. Its stays that way too long. Until it snows. I love the peace that snow brings. It makes me stop and think about peaceful things. My world is not peaceful. Until it snows. I love the memories that snow brings. I see the joy of Christmas in the falling flakes and hear the laughter of children in the piling up of snow. My world needs joy and laughter more. It lacks so much. Until it snows. I love the contrast that snow brings. We get so spoiled with rainbows and flowers. We are bombarded with images, and flashing, brilliant, sparkling lights. Black, white, brown and gray limit us and force us to find the beauty in simple things. My world is overwhelming. Until it snows. I love the "slow" that snow brings. Rushing here and going there never really gets me anywhere. My life is hurried, rushed and moving too fast through drive thru windows, passing lanes, speed check outs and express, priority mail. Until it snows. Yes, I take so much for granted and lose myself in having too many choices. In my wanting more of life, I find what I have to be too much and not enough at the same time. Until it snows.
