Mother Nature

I love winter, the feeling of the snow all around me. As I look outside from the window, the white makes me calm. But it's not just that. The touch of the snow, the form of the snowflake and all together makes me happy, when winter comes. I have a walk every day in the park, what means big dose of relax so I just don't want to get in the house. Walking through the snow gives me time and place to loo k into myself and concentrate on me. And the nature around me. When I walk on the snow, for that time I live an other life. I forget my gestures that I use in town, I forget everything that connects me to the block if flats.

Snow connects people. I've met some youngsters playing with the snow yesterday, while I was taking my steps through the woods. They were so bright and full of joy... I felt like I was one of them, so I said hello with a huge smile on my face. I don't know how it happened, but I've found myself playing with them and laughing and dropping the snowballs, getting snowballs all over. I got home late, but we agreed that tomorrow at the same time we shall meet. I was exhausted, but in the same time I was full with energy.

But the storm came and I got stuck in my house.It's strange, how the friendly snow becomes an enemy. I haven't seen that anger, that I felt today when I got out to my car. It was really strange. The touch of the snowflakes was different. The caress disappeared. I could hardly see where I was going. And the wind. I get dressed well, when I go outside, but today although I had my warmest clothes on me, somehow the cold got under them and chased me back home. In the house I felt so lonely. I was about to call my friends, to have a talk with somebody, but finally I just turned on the television to watch something to free my mind about this loneliness. But it was all around me.The news talked about the snow storm, and how people got stuck. All I could see it solitude. They recommended everyone to stay home, in the warm house and... I don't know. I don't know what will they do. I just know what I want to do: to go outside and have a walk and feel the caress of mother nature when the rage is gone.
