seems it has been the storm of the century here in our town in japan, these last few days. we are dealing with snow and very cold weather. so we are hibernating in the warmest room in the house and venturing out on foot just to check things out. i had almost forgotten how exciting surprise snow days feel.
presently, i watch the silent dance of white fluffy snowflakes swirl and fall
presently, my view of the snow dusted mountain comes into view as quickly as it vanishes from view deep within a snow cloud
presently, one little pirate attempts sleep with his head in my lap to rest from a nasty cold, his cough a soundtrack to our day
presently, my little orange cat takes in the view of this winter scene by sleeping in front of and gazing out the sliding glass door
presently, the kettle is warm and tea is poured
presently, i find time to sketch
presently, i take it all as a gift and a reminder to slow the pace a bit and witness all around me
presently, i find peace in the quietude
