Snow Flakes

Heavy, wet snow today. Ah, the weight of water. Or, is it the snow? Where is the snow, where the water?  No water, no snow? Where is the cold that makes the snow? Is it the cold? Is it the wind? Cold, wind, water, snow. All the same. We learn about the rain cycle as one of our earliest science lessons. Every child knows it. It is also our first lesson in impermanence; our first lesson in the workings of causes and conditions. So today, where is the snow? Where the water? Where the cold? Can your senses find each in a snowflake? Does it matter?
