Trampled

After the fall, before the melt

Snow isn’t always pristine.

Not long after it falls, it’ll get walked on, thrown, even trampled, its once-perfect surface transformed into something imperfect.

Yet as my boots sink into the chaotic white and not-quite-white mess, I find myself fascinated by the stories being told in the seeming imperfection. Of kids being kids, dogs being dogs, of life being lived in the now before it all melts.

I decide the after is even more worthy of our attention than the before. And stories should be crafted and told before they disappear forever.
