The First Time You See Snow Fall

Magic doesn’t knock it drifts quietly down.

You’ve heard about it. Seen it in movies. Imagined it. But nothing prepares you for the first time snow actually falls where you are. It’s silent. Soft. Suspended in midair like a dream. And it doesn’t just fall it surrounds you. Coats the street. Hugs tree limbs. Transforms the ordinary. And in that moment, you’re not just watching the weather. You’re watching the world turn into something else. Your breath joins the clouds. Your heart slows down. It’s quiet, and it’s beautiful.
