Snow, snow falling to the ground,
beautiful snowflakes blanket the ground,
each one unique in its own way, in shape, size,
texture, energy, and spirit.  As I stare closely at the flakes,
the snow takes my breath away. For within each flake is hidden a beautiful
world of its own, a lone world that is part of only that one snowflake.
There must be billions upon billions of such worlds.
Suddenly I wonder; am I part of such a world?
We humans often ponder; are we the only great world?
What if we are only one world, small and tiny, tucked into a unique
snowflake, that is falling on someone else's ground?
What if others from that ground, look around at our tiny flake, and wonder
if within that tiny swirl; there is a pearl of a world.
