When asked what your favorite thing to do in the snow is, the answer that comes to most people’s minds would be winter sports – skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating, just to name a few. As exciting and invigorating as these activities may be, I still hold fast to my personal favorite: A long walk in the snow.

   Some may argue this to be boring. I disagree! While walking in the snow I recharge my creative energy. The brisk, clean air revitalizes my being and challenges me to enjoy a bright, new day. I’m inspired by nature and the world around me. This inspiration gives me a newfound appreciation for the cycle of life and seeps its way into my works of poetry. After a walk on the newly fallen snow, I am humbled – for I have just been witness to an awesome wonder created by the very hand of God!
