walking in the snow

have you ever gone out walking in the snow?
tried to get back to where you were before.
You always end up not knowing where to go.
If you've ever been out walking in the snow.
If you'd ever been out walking you would know.
-brandi carlile



i have noticed that even in the coldest places it is possible to find warmth, and even in the oddest places inspiration and internal serenity can be brought into light. walking out around in the snow, trying to find your way back to where you were before, is reminiscent of a rock trail leading the way home. Only difference is that if you wait too long to change, or return home, your tracks melt into the ground and you are left there to lie on the hard unwelcoming dirt where you can choose to pray to find direction, die, or be found.

beauty, grace, elegance.
