The Hoarfrost of Heaven




What is it about snow that brings such a wonderful interior silence? As I looked out towards the horizon, I almost felt as if I was beholding Earth’s shapely curves.  The photo was taken on the trip home from Minneapolis. I felt love/compassion/awe for the beautiful textures beneath me and am reminded of the poetic verses from Job 38:29-30

"From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?
The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen." (NRSV)
