First Snow
Ever since I started getting numerous comments about my posts in this blog, I started feeling the pressure of putting out witty, incisive, and meaningful things to say. But can you guys please allow me to let lose for a moment? These are my thoughts on the first night I experienced snow. Please let me be sappy just this once.
It was magical. I had just stepped out of the library that night. It was 11:30pm and nobody was in the quad. It was just me. The snow was falling gently around me, everything was so silent, white, and serene. I felt as if I was in Chronicles of Narnia. And I just stood there, for maybe a full five minutes. It was not just the snow, but it was the whole scene…the gothic spires of the Basilica, the ancient buildings surrounding the quad, the naked trees. Fantastic.
And then, I suddenly felt truly sad because I had nobody to share all this beauty with.

Yes you do. Who do you think made it possible for you to witness all that?
We’re never alone, Em– He makes sure of that.
Merry Christmas.
