It's still snowing outside but have you ever stopped for a moment to take a look, I mean a real good look at a snowflake? They really are works of art. I was taking a walk downtown with Maryn and we'd spot perfect little snowflakes, landing on our jackets. The sad thing is once they landed, or if we touched them, they'd disappear.

Beauty is something that we cannot put our fingers on, or hold onto forever. We may want to, but the tighter we hold on, the quicker it slips away.

"It takes hold of you. Gently, yet firmly. The grasp is not too tight, yet steady. It is like a lioness with it's cub being held by the scruff of its neck. Any harder and the cub will die. Any looser and the cub will fall."

-Gregory Santos
