Snowflakes

The last couple of days here in northern Ohio we have begun to see snow.  Out first!  Nothing that has stuck on the ground but just enough to let us know that it’s on its way. 

They say that no two snowflakes are the same.  Each one has its own patterns, nooks, crannies.  And none come to stay.  They all come to pass. 

But the really cool part is what makes a snowflake is the space between the actual wet stuff.  Otherwise it would simply be a snowball, good for other purposes but not a flake, for sure.

And that is what my snowflake teaches today.  We must appreciate the space between the “stuff” of life because that is where the real difference lies.  Like music, it is the space between the notes that makes it come alive.  Other wise it would just be some long droning note.  It is in the space between the notes, the space between the thoughts, the nothing that is really the energy of the universe shouting though the nothingness of its love for us.  And all neatly packaged in the passing of a snowflake.

May you experience and hear the grand energy in that space today.  Take the time.  Listen to the space between your thoughts.  You will find God there!  That’s just where he hides out in the open for us all to see.  His reminder today is a snowflake!
