‘neath bright blue sky
upon wide open fields of snow
with no end in sight
nothing to do
but to run and to play
on such
a fine
and lovely
winter’s day.
—
nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere
and the circumference nowhere.

Fabulous quote. So nice to see kids at play outside in the snow. It’s been too frigid here and the schools keep the kids inside for recess.

You look at the winter much differently than I have been, Beth. Your way is way healthier. :-)

Whew – you are expansive today Beth – I like it. You know I trucked for many years and then went in the office for a few years, then went back to trucking. The first day back, leaving town with a load on a brilliantly sunny winter’s day – I was gobsmacked by how huge the sky was, It so expressed the infinite possibilities of this world – especially after staring at a computer screen for 12 hrs a day.
Cool post Beth. Thank You

I envy the little ones who can find joy in running and playing in the snow. Me, not so much. :)

Your kids and grandkids are so fortunate, Other Beth, to have you who will enrich them with these beautiful thoughts and ways of looking at life! So many of us rushed headlong through the days without pause for a little poetry and reflection – or to appreciate the beauty of a day playing in an open snowfield under a vast blue sky. Thanks for the post!

Beth, you have quite a wide expanse for those children to spread out and really run and enjoy the winter’s day. It was so sunny and beautiful yesterday, too!
The quote about the sky fit this to a “T!”
This captured the fun I used to have while outside on recess with the preschoolers and also, when I accompany the grandies on sledding expeditions or hikes in the snow.

I remember playing in the snow until my hands and lips were purple! My Mom would ask me if I were cold and I’d answer (while shaking!), “Not at all, Mom. Not at all…” What can I say? I was a goofy kid who turned into a “goofy adult”! :)
