The light flakes falter and fall slow;
Athwart the hill-top, rapt and pale,

What is last year's snow to me,
Last year's anything? The tree

The snow-storm spreads its ivory woof;
It paves with pearl the garden-walk;
And lovingly around the tatter'd stalk
And snivering stem its magic weaves
A mantle fair as lily-leaves.
A snow yeare, a rich yeare.
The figures of the past go cloaked.
They walk in mist and rain and snow
And go, go slowly, but they go.
A snow year, a rich year.

One part of your body, or many parts of your body, may be diseased or in pain or even missing, yet you can still cradle them in this experience of wholeness. - Jon Kabat
