The morning after the blizzard, I took the kids to school and then went for a walk around the neighborhood with my camera. Snow is a pain, with the parking and shoveling and driving. But beyond that, it is just plain beautiful. There’s nothing quite like a world covered in white to make me feel wonder.
The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
~ Henry Miller
The quote comes from my friend Christa’s lovely blog, Carry It Forward. She shares wonderful reflections, images, and quotations about the world, in both its grand themes and littlest moments.
Lindsey:
Have you read any of David Whyte’s poetry? For some reason he sprang to mind as I read your post. Here is a video in which he is being interviewed about poetry and the business world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO0OjtThqyI&feature=player_embedded

Love this quote, I live it every day.
The world covered in white, yes, I remember when I used to live where it snowed, it was magic, mysterious, hushed.
Oh how I adore that quote! I must write it down.
