All day, all night...

We have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Each takes the perfect shape in order to survive the hardship of falling from the sky. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take its own path. And along this gravity-driven quest, some snowflakes collide and damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind ... there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the way, but no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for the journey ahead. 


I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of our grand orchestration. Because we, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered ... we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely ready and capable for whatever might be required of us, because otherwise we wouldn't be presented with it. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re all exactly like snowflakes - perfect just the way we are.
