Motion

The snow came. For me, the mere dusting was immaterial. For children who see snow but once or twice a year it was magical. We donned our winter gear and headed out both this morning and this afternoon. I stood; I watched; I froze. They jumped; they rolled; they ran; they laughed. They never sat still or noticed the icy wind biting at their nose, hands or feet. Probably because they were always in motion.....

Maybe if we jumped and rolled in it we'd like it better? Such a perspective shift on snow from childhood to adulthood.
