With luck, it might even snow for us.    – Haruki Murakami

There are sidewalks to clear and snowballs to shape and cocoa to warm. 

There are dishes to wash and calls to make and bills to pay.

But before all of that, 

what good fortune, 

to sit mid-blizzard, 

warm and cozy,

listening to the hush.

Dear ones,

whatever the weather,

may we have a moment of stillness today

to hear our own hearts beating.
