Each season brings its own message or meaning, and that message is different for everyone. That message will most likely change with time, just as the seasons change. The unique message the seasons bring to our hearts is one that we should share with our children. Enquiring about our children’s thoughts and feelings about the current season is a great way to dig deeper into knowing each other. It is also a way for us to get a little glimpse of our children’s magical imaginations. Their 
take on our Earth’s seasons could help bring us back to the power of our childhood imaginations.
Living in Colorado, winter often involves precipitation in the form of snow. It is this cold, white, powdery stuff that encompasses my thoughts of winter. Snow is like a blanket. It covers the decay of Fall and brings out a contrast with its brilliant white color. A blanket of snow can dampen sound and quiet the environment. Snow is malleable like our minds should be. It can be formed into countless shapes like cold Play-Doh. Snow shows us how easy it is to slide through life.
Each snowflake is unique, just like us humans. Each snowflake is beautiful, just like us humans. Snowflakes are just one form of water, just like our human body is just one form of our soul. A snowflake is a beautiful example that nothing lasts forever, just like our human form.
Too much snow can create work and can be dangerous, just like allowing too much ego to rule our decisions. Snow can get dirty. Snow can get hard, just like our judgments of ourselves and others. Snow can avalanche down on us, just like our negative thoughts and feelings.
Snow is a beautiful reflection of life!
