What I saw this morning


This morning I rejoiced at the sight of 
winter's barren fields...


weeds standing at the edges, rooted in the frozen ground...
winter sun playing golden in frozen air.


And frost.
Frost.


everywhere frost!


It's winter and there is beauty everywhere.
But only for those who slow down enough to see it.


In the middle of winter there are signs of springtime and hope.


But today winter is enough.
