Snowfall & Silence

Today is one of those days where we've been getting a steady stream of snow all day (actually, since last night). There is probably about 8 inches on the ground right now. It's a perfect snow, too. There's very little wind, so it just comes straight down, and it's not very cold out. I was out walking in it earlier today--I had to go down to the shop to get some duct tape. There was no traffic, no one out, no noise. It was just me, God and the snow. It's one of those moments that you just wish you could soak in for a while (and I would have, except that after soaking in snow for a while, one tends to get cold). I hope there's a little corner in heaven that's like that.
