Snow Day.

The world stops for a moment, a morning, an afternoon, a day or two. In this silent and beautiful gift, people of all ages become children again. The excitement of such a mysterious sight, even though science and natural knowledge has long foretold and explained this precipatory event, is still a mystery.

How can it be so beautiful, so captivating?

It stirs the hearts of fond memories and days with family and friends celebrating togetherness. Plans are cancelled; care-free timelessness is shared; no longer are we anxious and busy with lists of to-dos. Rather, we are living simply, enjoying what seems to be the "more time in the day" that we always wish for albeit its mocking contradiction to physics.

Today we celebrate; a snow day!
