These things are ours... for God created within our soul a
Mystic sense of wonder.
There has been action... wind has blown through days and nights and wild waves have dashed high against the ice.
There has been calm... blue shadows have stretched far across unbroken snow.
There has been life... Cardinals, Jays, Grosbeaks, Chickadees, Larks, Woodpeckers, Gulls, and wild Duck and Geese have filled the air with living color.
There has been beauty... white loveliness has hung from the tips of the trees and the earth sparkled.
There has been wonder... snow has changed from big soft flakes drifting in the sunshine to the tiny crystals blowing hard and fast making hills and lakes disappear before our eyes.
There have been moments for reflection... deep in the silence of the woods... moments of realization of the greatness of trees and things.
This is winter... tremendous in it's scope... glorious in it's beauty!
