it's snowing .... heavily

as if snow can fall heavily .... it becomes heavy but each flake is so delicate

delicate .... what a wonderful word .... so many things are delicate, fragile .... and some of the most delicate looking things are not at all fragile .... deceptively delicate ... designatedly delicate ....

we make other things delicate ... break them down ... destroy them slowly ....

i've watched avalanches ... been on the edge of a couple of small ones ..... i've been in a tent that was slowly being crushed by accumulating snow ..... sometimes the delicate things can destroy us ....

the picture is from a play i was in ... 'frost at midnight' ... a fave - possibily cos of the name: two of my favorite things .... but i got to play a blacksmith who has a heart as big as the world, and a temper just as big .... very freeing

i'm the ox .... jessica benini is johnny green, the ass
