What Color is Snow?
Bet you thought snow was white, huh?
Take a look at this photo again…barely a speck of white in sight.
Ask the Kid in you what color snow is? Go ahead, ask her.
My little kid says “Sparkly.” “Shiny.” “It’s the color of glitter. I see glitter!”
Another part of my kid says “cold…snow is the color of cold.”
I toss over a cuddly, warm blanket.
From out of nowhere a chorus of voices starts to chime….”Blue. Silver. Pink! ”
“Yellow.” I hear a little snicker.
“Ah, good to see you joined in the fun, Smarty Pants! I thought I left you behind in grade 3.”
“Soft. Quiet. It’s the color of singing Silent Night.”
I turn inward to take a closer look. Which part of me said this?
Of-course…there she is…the same Me who liked to sit in the shade of a poplar tree on a hot summer’s day ~happy to be drawing and coloring and cool.
From a little farther away, I hear a shout…”Swish!….it’s the color of Snow Angels.”
“The color of Jack Frost.” another voice chimes in. “The color of sledding to the bottom of the hill!”
“Snow is the color of snowballs, of-course.”
I begin to wonder just how many kids I have at play inside my head…
How is it they see the color of snow so differently?
How is it they are OK with that? {What do I feed all these kids?}
This Christmas season, when there are so many ideas about how we ‘should’ do this and ‘must’ do that,
invite the Kid in you to chime in…open up the conversation to include all the voices of Possibility.
After all, the beauty of Christmas, {just like the color of snow} is in the eye of the Beholder.
Merry Snow-Color to all…and to all a good night.

I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like this before. So good to see someone with some original ideas. This website is something that’s wanted on the web, someone with just a little originality.

I am stunned, I must say.
