The Sky Pilot
Snow is beautiful because it isn't static. It is always dynamic, always moving, always changing the landscape, always alive. It makes the world look like it's constantly shifting and you have to peer between a moving curtain of snowflakes to see buildings normally ugly, metallic, become alluring and attractive once they're coated with a coat of snow.
Yeah from the above paragraph you can probably tell it's snowing now, and that I'm in a "poetic" fit (which has led to much inane doggeral in previous entries).
Snow reminds me that the great Sky Pilot is so alive. Not just alive as in He exists, but alive in the fact that He's always active and in control, I think. He sings* "He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing".He dances*- "He will dance with shouts of joy for you as on the day of a festival". He moves and He acts** - "And God will wipe the tears from every face. He will remove every sign of disgrace from His people, wherever they are".
And I think that He's constantly on the move, and He delights in seeing things dance and move and become better and sing His praises with no words or music but just by their loveliness and reflection of who He is. I think that may have been why He made the seasons, where the trees bud and then the leaves change from green to red and gold and brown and drift gently down the trees in a constant stream of confetti; I think that may have been why He made the sky with its ever-changing colours and the clouds moving across it in an endless variety of shapes and symbols, I think that may have been why He made the wind with its lovely song and invisible form and eternal, unrelieved journey.
And I think that may have been why He made snow.
