WHEN YOU ARE WALKING THE WIRE ...

A Dust of Snow to the Rescue

It's the simple things July 12, 2018

Have you ever had a day or a week when you just can’t quite get into the right rhythm of things? Well, it has been one of those weeks for me.

Everything felt off-center until … I found a bird nest with little baby birds in one of my hanging flower baskets on the front porch. Like a morning fog lifting off the lake, my world became clear and right again. Definitely a reinforcement that it’s the simple things that make a happy life.

The birds finding me brought into my mind one of the best Robert Frost poems, and I thought I would share. When out-of-sorts, think of this  🙂

DUST OF SNOW

The way a crow

Shook down on me

The dust of snow

From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart

A change of mood

And saved some part

Of a day I had rued.
