Warm Snow, Round Moon

Such a warm night tonight,

I walked to and from a Friday mass.
The snow was everywhere, the sky was clear.

With all the snow around me, it was a pleasant walk, it was nothing like how it looks like - I would have thought this is a cold night if I were to stay indoor and look outside.

Once I was outside. It's such a warm winter night. No wind at all. - reminds of how we can never tell everything by looking at the outside.

I can't help but reach out my hand to grab some snow to feel this night's present and my very own present. It's been so so long since I last actually hold on to any snow with my bare hand. Surprisingly, it's not at all cold, it melted into water instantly, dripped down my fingers when I have my arm and hand relaxed downward. My right hand was not hurtfully frozen from the melted snow, instead, it's rather refreshing, which I would never expect from touching snow in winter.

Keep on walking, I suddenly notice there's the full moon above the sky. About one or two weeks ago, it was just a new moon turning to half moon. Now it's the full moon again. I realized how fast the time flew, it's already another full moon! The last full moon was the big yellow full moon I saw the night after we went snowtubing in January.

Suddenly, the wind and air that froze me to bones back in December and January and even last night, becomes this warm mellowly snow and gentle moon light that melts everything inside me, I can feel the peace in me.

Thanks for the peaceful walk, simple things like this encouraged me to keep doing what I am doing and what I need to do.

Winter won't last long. Soon, I can already see the buds start growing on trees. Everything evolves, what's going to happen next? I can only say it will be spring again, that's for sure!! ^_^
