As I step into the fluffy, white, untouched and almost inviting snow with my bare soles, I am overcome with a sense of connection to our sweet Mother Earth. She has brought this purity for us to slow down and listen. The bitter cold purifying her own skin, creating space for transformation.

These gloriously unique and perfect snow flakes fall with a dance of a lifetime. Every fleshy body, equally exclusive to the singular make up of their vessel. The squishy, complex brain individually marked with what was, is and will be, never finding more than one in exactly the same form.

While specifics keep us from becoming robotic in nature, we all seem to be driven by similar motivations. These motivations created by the collective and very much intertwined, humanity. All inspiring, influencing and challenging the exceptionally different individuals to feel, experience and exist with a variety of meanings.

To this I salute! Thank you mankind for being my light and darkness, while giving my existence a greater meaning. To this I bow with grace and offer my heart a prayer of love; rippling into the world I walk.
