I am like you, way too much rushing and not nearly enough stillness. We are supposed to have a storm on Monday and Tuesday.

So lovely, when those of us in the south who are so ill-prepared for snow have a hard time seeing beyond the inconvenience! I was with family this past weekend in Chattanooga TN where we got a light dusting, and because we were bundled and cozy and had no plans except to enjoy one another, the snow was simply lovely. Selah, indeed!

That surprised me because I rarely feel peaceful. Most of the time, I wonder if my thoughts are too scattered for anyone to understand what I'm trying to say.

The Melville Cane poem is a perfect mood-setter accompaniment to soaking in the snow.You have such a peaceful writing presence, even when you write about multitasking activities, that I'm confident Selah is yours for the receiving.

After the initial wringing of hands, we relaxed and the kids didn't want the power to come back on! Talk about a major selah!<br />I loved the Cane poem!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.com
