As little flurries swirl around I extend out through the longest reach of my fingers to catch the wind harnessing the energy of this midday glory

 

My feet taking me upon this path of gratitude traversing me to the utmost beauty around me

 

A snowflake upon the tip of my nose makes me smile

Tears swimming in my eyes for immense joy, the gladness I feel

 

My mind wondering as I wander if this is truly solitude, when I am sharing space, with the sheer magnitude and force of mother Earth

 

Happy New Year to me and the path that is before me
