Two snowflakes, not one alike, millions of raindrops, all are identical. Walking alone on a cold blustery day with a sweater and a scarf, the snow whipping at your uncovered face and hands. Such a horrible feeling yet such an amazing accomplish. Witnessing god's most beautiful creation with not a care in the world.
Walking with your back against the wind, seeking shelter from the tears of heaven, bus shelters overflowing with people, you don't dare look them in the eye. You don't hide your tears, why should you, the rain drops hide all visible emotion.
Maybe god's idea was to get us thinking how two simple things that are so alike yet so different, represent the two biggest things in life. Snowflakes, being happiness. When I think of snow I think of the smiles of little children, hot chocolate and the late nights by the fire. Raindrops being saddeness. As if at that time of the day everyone in the world was shedding a tear. With each single tear we could cry our own rivers and then drown the whole world.
This place we call home would be so blank and so cold hearted, if we never experienced having to walk in the snow up to our knees to work, or missed that last bus home and had to walk six miles in the rain. Maybe life is that simple. Maybe we just don't think.
Two snowflakes, and millions of raindrops. I guess they have more similarities than differences, but don't we all?
Life has it's hidden symbolic structures, it takes the simplest of minds to discover such things.
