“The white herons invisible in the snow. The beer can crushed by the roadside.
The crunch of your shoes in the snow, magnified by the winter stillness. The devastation wrought be an ice storm, throwing cars and lives off the road.
The crackle of icicles as a squirrel runs along a tree branch.
Is it all equally precious? Can we embrace both the beautiful and the terrible? What do we gain from it? Robert Penn Warren writes, “We must try to love so well the world that we may believe, in the end, in God.””
